  1. Almanacs

    Hadfield, Jen, 1978-
    Tarset, Northumberland : Bloodaxe Books, 2005.

    Almanacs: a mythic scrapbook, bag of cats, a one-man band...Jen Hadfield's Almanacs is concerned with lists, rules and archetypes and what they don't account for. It takes as its subjects the Tarot, the lore of Full Moons, weather myths and travellers' tales. The book's central sequence, Lorelei's Lore, is a road movie in poems, set in the north of Scotland: Ultima Thule, hijacked by elusive sirens and Harrier jets. There's the ruthless Lorelei, gorgeous Ghosty who's given up on everything except the Road, and Skerryman, patron saint of bad weather and absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder. It's obsessed with yearning, like the two seas separated by the tip of Shetland 'metres apart/and desperate for each other.' Lorelei's Lore wonders 'what's beautiful?' (tarmac? sheep carcasses? sunburn?) and 'where's your native home?'.

  2. Chinese almanacs

    Smith, Richard J. (Richard Joseph), 1944-
    Hong Kong ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1992.

    Almanacs have traditionally been the most widely distributed publications in all of China. This study demonstrates that no other class of artefacts indicates more clearly both the essence of China's inherited culture and the process of its evolution in late imperial and modern times.
