| All Kinds Of Disorder (Waterloo
Press) is Nick Burbridge’s second collection of poetry, a
pamphlet edition funded by the Arts Council Of England, complete
with a five track sampler CD of readings arranged with music and
effects by The Levellers’ Jon Sevink.
All Kinds Of Disorder is a collection
which probes eccentric and distorted experience, full of dark
humour, but constantly illuminated by compassion and attachment,
and a profound aesthetic faith. The writing is subtly measured,
yet as one would expect from a seasoned songwriter, driven by
internal rhythms and a deep musical sense.
‘Burbridge’s work allies imagistic skill with
important social subjects. A good modern poet not afraid to be
poetic.’ Alan Morrison
About On Call:
‘full of richness and variety - the poems are life-affirming
and unafraid' Ore
‘strong and clipped verse with a striking undercurrent’

‘frank and uncompromising’
