Books by George Messo

George Messo's fifth book of poems is a richly inventive, candid reflection on the individual nature of mental distress; a darkly playful, bold new collection from one of Shearsman's most reticent poets.

A collection of poems in which the Middle East, both real and imagined, forms the background. It features themes such as: silence, destruction, resistance, and endurance.

And here, where forest entrails spill into winter light, you find me, straying out from the forest's dark memory - Itinerant Hebrew poet David Vogel, Arctic explorer Samuel Hearne and surveyor David Thompson are among the lost voices re-presenced in George Messo's enigmatic new book, Violades & Appledown.

Following on from his work "From the Pine Observatory", this is a second collection of poems published by poet-translator George Messo. It aims to invent the Choruh River and eleventh-century Georgia.
