Bonjour Mr Inshaw
Bonjour Mr Inshaw. Poems by Peter Robinson. Paintings by David Inshaw
Two Rivers Press
Bonjour Mr Inshaw is a homage by the award-winning poet Peter Robinson to David Inshaw, the celebrated painter, whom he first met during the artist’s years as Creative Arts Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the mid-1970s.
Robinson’s poems combine memories of Inshaw’s paintings, or characteristic landscapes, with experiences of his company and conversation, presented in an en face format.
John Froy: The Art of Peter Hay
The Art of Peter Hay, by John Froy with Martin Andrews
Two Rivers Press
Peter Hay (1951–2003) was a visionary artist whose work has a poetic and mystical quality. A fine draughtsman, watercolorist and inventive printmaker, he was at heart a figurative artist. He had a strong sense of place; the junction of the rivers Thames and Kennet close to his Reading home was a frequent symbolic theme in his work, which moves into abstraction through striking use of black and white and a rich use of colour.
This book brings together, for the first time, the range of this prolific artist’s work.

Oscar Wilde: The Ballad of Reading Gaol
The Ballad of Reading Gaol, by Oscar Wilde. Illustrations by Peter Hay
Two Rivers Press
A powerfully-illustrated edition of Oscar Wilde’s classic poem, The Ballad of Reading Gaol, written in self-imposed exile in France in 1898. An indictment of the prison system and the death penalty, the poem’s ‘hellish truthfulness’ is an anguished plea for prison reform and a passionate expression of sympathy for his fellow prisoners.
