.@kirstennorrie's 'Ravage' draws together the artist's extensive research into the life and work of Norwegian-Shetlandic poet Kristján Norge, who vanished in the Outer Hebrides in 1961. We have 3 copies to give away on this afternoon's newsletter, courtesy of @BloodaxeBooks.
And a precognition of 'The Demon Tracts', a satellite work to 'Ravage', published by Broken Sleep Books in May. 'The Demon Tracts' is Norge's loggbok, reproduced. Here a page:
One for @MVReggio …
'Brittly beautiful poems of “lucent pharography” perform insistent incantations, working the permutations of a metaphysical vocabulary of fire, ice, bone and ash.' - David Wheatley, in @TheTLS, on MacGillivray's #Ravage. @kirstennorrie @nemoloris the-tls.co.uk/articles/ravag…
'If Murdoch’s profoundly alluring fourth novel The Bell (1958) represents one kind of moral comedy (anarchic and abundant), its immediate successor, A Severed Head (1961), embodies another.' Patricia Craig on Iris Murdoch’s ethical mind the-tls.co.uk/articles/fligh…
Tricks deftly conjured in the TLS by David Wheatley @nemoloris in a 'metaphysical vocabulary of fire, ice, bone and ash' on RAVAGE by vanished Norwegian-Shetlandic poet, Kristján Norge.
I wrote about MacGillivray's Ravage for this week's TLS. the-tls.co.uk/articles/ravag…

Congrats to fellow prizewinners Ben Howard and Stephanie Powell in the Bedford Prize - thank you to judge @kirstennorrie bedfordwritingcompetition.co.uk/BWC/prizewinni…
Pre-order here and if you buy two demons they fly to you for free: brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
Please consider investing in a demon (or two). Wolves and temples guaranteed. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
Across unbridgeable space, The Demon Tracts, therefore, amounts to an adventurous collaboration between two Scotian kindreds, passing hand in hand through the whirligig of time. — Ishion Hutchinson The work astounds me. — James Byrne brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
Norge's handwritten scrawl is meticulously transcribed to reveal an arcane theatre of paranoia and self-betrayal akin to Nijinsky and Strindberg's own diaristic breakdowns. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
Inserts include: a plate of the Palatine Graffito depicting Christ as a crucified donkey; a fortune-telling card of a man wrestling a lion; a cella using an Egyptian postcard of the Temple of Edfu; typescripts and a 1950s image of wolves in a wood. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
The loggbok concludes with a long, unedited poem: The Demon's Progress, which is surely a nod to The Rake's Progress and antithetical to Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
Part diary, part collage, its contents betray a figure profoundly disturbed by the vicissitudes of island life. The loggbok entries are aligned with the lunar cycles of the new moon and full moon of 1961, beginning July 11th, ending December 22nd. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
PREORDER (31.05.2024): The Demon Tracts, with introduction by MacGillivray, is a faithful reproduction of the loggbok of Norwegian-Shetlandic modernist poet, Kristján Norge who vanished from the Outer Hebridean Eilean a' Bháis (Isle of the Dead) in 1961. brokensleepbooks.com/product-page/k…
