Of Dead Snakes
David Mclean’s anarchic, pitch-black poetry snatches the philosophies and theologies of history out of the air like mosquitoes or bad smells and subjects them to a twenty-first century frisk. From the micro to the macro, no sacred cow is safe... David was born in Wales in 1960 and has lived in Sweden since 1987. 'Of Dead Snakes' is the newest of several McLean collections, and the first to be published by the Oxford-based, internationally-minded Rain Over Bouville.

Women as Tender
Humphrey Astley is founder and editor of rainoverbouville.co.uk, now in its fourth year. He was born in Oxford, England in 1982. “Breathing is an unthinking reflex, until you draw a breath and find you can’t. Human contact can induce a similar sensation of having thought hijacked by primal reactions that can bring a moment to its clearest point. This is Humphrey Astley’s poetry.” http://blackheartmagazine.com/index2.php?p=story&id=186
“The verbal content is phenomenally well-handled. People say that they hone poems a long time; generally speaking one wonders why. Humphrey however does the same thing and does it to good purpose. His works do what other poems purport to do.” http://mourningabortion.blogspot.com/

Twenty-Five Poems
Humphrey Astley was born in Oxford, England in 1982. He is founder and curator of the ongoing exhibition Rain Over Bouville (.co.uk), from which these twenty-five poems have been selected. This is his first collection.
From Black Heart Magazine's review of 'Twenty-Five Poems': "Thank the swirling chaos for Humphrey Astley. His poems are elegant, classical, but certainly not the kinds of things we run screaming from in our English Literature classes. He understands the concepts of rhythm and metre and the manipulation of sounds. In Twenty-Five Poems he conjures up lovely images of moonlight and co-eds and perverts, and none of his poems ever dare to wrap onto a second page. They are precisely contained worlds, and no matter how melancholy, they always stress the sentiment that life is somehow beautiful." (http://blackheartmagazine.com/index2.php?p=story&id=76)
