By Fax to Alice Springs was Simon Mundy’s second book of poems, including work from 1987 to 1995. As the title implies, the poems were written all over the world – North Carolina to Italy, Moravia to Australia – as well as in Mundy’s home territory on the borders of Wales.

They reflect his intense sense of the spirit of place as well as his wry approach to politics and bittersweet relationship with women.

Flagey in Spring

The Café Franck in Brussels’ Place Flagey puts people at their ease – artists with European politicians and their assistants, tousled intellectuals with bar staff, twenty-somethings in need of a job with thirty-somethings who have one.

Set in the spring of 2014, Flagey in Spring is a comedy of manners that takes place in the European Parliament itself, in bars where love and politics rub shoulders, and in Rome, where Italy is looking once again for a new Prime Minister.
