Launch of Michael Egan's debut collection of poetry, Steak & Stations published by Penned in the Margins. With support from Chris McCabe and Nathan Jones.

Steak & Stations reports from a landscape of contrasts and contradictions: of speed and consumption, haute cuisine and isolated railway platforms; from nocturnal inner-city encounters to rural wildernesses where schoolgirls ‘climb into the wind’.

In this exhilarating debut collection, Michael Egan has developed a style of his own, a conversational staccato that compels you to reconstruct his dark, fragmented micro-narratives piece by piece. Shot through with surreal humour, experimentation and a keen political sensibility, these poems offer a peep-hole into the mysteries of domesticity, relationships and modern society.

Michael Egan is a member of Edge Hill University’s Poetry and Poetics Research Group. He is the editor of The Binturong Review. Michael’s poems have appeared in Erbacce, Great Works, Zafusy, Pen Pusher, Open Wide and Poetry Salzburg. A pamphlet, The River Swam (Paula Brown Publishing), was published in 2005 and a second, Folklores (Knives, Forks and Spoons Press), in 2010. Steak & Stations (Penned in the Margins) is his first full collection.

Chris McCabe’s publications are The Hutton Inquiry (Salt), Zeppelins (Salt), The Borrowed Notebook (Landfill) and as well as recording a CD with The Poetry Archive has had his play Shad Thames, Broken Wharf performed at The London Word Festival. This has just been published by Penned in the Margins. He lives in Liverpool and works as Joint Librarian of The Poetry Library.

Nathan Jones is a poet and Creative Director of Mercy, an arts collective specialising in new approaches to literature. His performances are well regarded for their intensity and integrity.
'a refusal to distinguish between the serious and the playful that in the end is the deepest kind of inquiry' Dan Beechy Smith
