Six Nines

A second edition of Peter Langston's first collection of poetry Six Nines (2009). This edition features a new cover changed fonts and formatting and a re-organisation of the poems. The title is a Douglas Adams reference. In one of the author's favourite books 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' the incorrect equation 6 x 9 = 42 is a key story point. When Peter realised he had 42 poems to publish the title seemed obvious. According to Barry Richardson Peter's is a poetic voice which is unique in the freshness of the language the creativity of the imagery and the bold architectonic of structure which gives well-worn themes rejuvenated expression so transformational as to suggest the arrival of a new apocalyptic vision on the horizon. This edition gives the work a freshness that its contents deserve.
