Six Nines

A second edition of Peter Langstons 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 authors favourite books, Hitchhikers 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, "Peters 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.
