Joseph Macleod (1903-1984)
A British poet, actor, playwright, theatre director, theatre historian and BBC Newsreader. Cyclic Serial Zeniths from the Flux is a substantial selection made by Andrew Duncan who, in a superb essay-length introduction to Macleod, places him in that curious intersection between his poetic genius and his context. This publication was the focus of a retrospective feature on the poetry of Joseph Macleod, 'To a group of nurses' by James Fountain in the February 12th 2010 issue of the Times Literary Supplement.

Lee Wilson
Lee Wilson's poetry, like Cavafy's, tilts at an odd angle to the universe, full of strange but always illuminating resolutions which lurch to the left (Simon Jenner).

Alf Wiltshire
Wiltshire's was one of the first volumes to appear under the Waterloo imprint. A quirky debut of aphorismic poems that echo the surrealist riddling of poets such as Edward Lear.
