Cardinal Cox - Old Scarlett's Book Of Impracticle Bats
This is what you'd call educational poetry! Well written verse on as diverse a list of subjects as you could think of, though with an underlying tenor of humanity. The notes are illuminating, too.
CARDINAL COX & THE FRIENDS OF BROADWAY CEMETERY, c/o 53 Huntley Grove, Peterborough, PE1 2QW.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - A Change Of Zinery Special: The Night Land
A unique collection of poetry, inspired by some famous and some obscure characters in SF/F/H. Particularly liked the bite of 'Beware Tentacles & Wings'.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Sowerberry Harvest
A collection of poems influenced by history - both personal and general. Cardinal's compassion can be seen throughout, in poetry which is mostly endearing, and, again, the notes are interesting. It's available for £1 and an SAE from the address below.
CARDINAL COX & THE FRIENDS OF BROADWAY CEMETERY, c/o 53 Huntley Grove, Peterborough, PE1 2QW.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - The Shaver Mysteries
This is a booklet of "Victorian-fantasy themed poetry" by the Cardinal, originally written for the 2003 They Came and Shaved Us convention in Dundalk, Ireland.
Very good it is, too, with the poetry written affectionately in a take on the formal Victorian style - though one that isn't so Victorian is my favourite - the haunting 'Mr. Poe And The Orang-Utang'. Cardinal Cox also shows an impressive knowledge of Victorian SF literature in his notes.
CARDINAL COX & SPROUTLORE, c/o 221 Blackhorse Avenue, Dublin 7, Ireland.

More info on Sproutlore here.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Burn This Manifesto!
'Burn This Manifesto' is a surreal, joyful, and not so joyful, collection of poetry and prose playing with words. Seen a chaftit in your garden recently? Or an erotic lamp in the lounge? 'Dr. Freud Defines' is a fair summation of the great psychoanalysts obsession with sex, but which psychoanalyst isn't? Groovy illos. £1 & SAE from the address below.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - The Rock Show: The Devil's Own Music
Produced by Starburker Publications for Zombiecom, this is a collection of poetry cleverly incorporating famous lyrics with poems, which revolve around famous bluesmen like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters to their progeny, like The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. A neat idea, even if Ozzy and Alice aren't my cup of tea. Dusty's 'Son Of A Preacher Man' gets in there, too! £1 & SAE from the address below.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Memento Mori
A touching signing off for Cardinal Cox as Poet-in-Residence of Peterborough's Broadway Cemetery. Not all death, graveyards, and burials, though they feature heartily. There's a whimsical poem concerning bats, and famous Peterborough visitors also find a space. This booklet is available for £1.50 & C5 SAE from the address below (cheques payable to the Friends of Broadway Cemetery).
CARDINAL COX & THE FRIENDS OF BROADWAY CEMETERY, c/o 53 Huntley Grove, Peterborough, PE1 2QW.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Between Peterborough And Pentecost
A collection of very funny and disturbing Surrealist poetry on subjects such as the Tour de France, Charles Darwin and Salvador Dali (naturally).
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - One Night At The Brentford Burlesque
Unsettling burlesque, Surrealist poetry! A new genre? Send an SAE to the address below, to see if any copies are still available.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - The Mysteries Of Nightmare Abbey
A mixture of dark and light whimsical poems. Enchanting to read, though don't get the idea it's a twee collection! Send an SAE to the address below, to see if any copies are still available.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Carrion Crimson
The thing I really like about the Cardinal's booklets is that he doesn't just give you poetry, but interesting notes as well. Here, we get some info on the Vinca people of Transylvania! The poetry's very vivid, notably 'Herlethingi', 'Aluka', 'Strange Orchids', 'Medicine Bird', and 'Watt=vAMP(ire)'. This booklet of Vampire-related poetry is to be given away at the World Horror Convention, which will be held in Brighton in March 2010.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Rural Rhymes, Natural Rhythms
A pamphlet of poetry inspired by nature and John Clare, which also includes riddles. It's a collection which covers the majesty and brutality of nature.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Cognition
Poetry inspired by a Steampunk art exhibition held at Oxford Museum of the History of Science, this is possibly the Cardinal's strangest collection. The time travelling poetry here could really start something. Entertaining.and bewildering at the same time.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.

*************************

Cardinal Cox - Codex Cthulhapalooza
This Cardinal pamphlet, influenced by American writer H.P. Lovecraft, is as interesting for the notes within, as it is its wistful and reflective poetry. Send a C5 SAE to the address below, to see if any copies are still available.
CARDINAL COX, 58 Pennington, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough, PE2 5RB.
