Brian Catling’s collections sit alongside his fiction and represent the written side of a career spent primarily in sculpture and performance art. These volumes gather poetry and texts that often relate to his visual work.

The Stumbling Block (1990) was his earliest major collection. Several Clouds Colliding (2012) appeared the same year as The Vorrh, and Only the Lowly (2019) was his final collection. Catling’s written work, whether fiction or poetry, shares a fascination with the strange and the uncanny, and these collections offer a different angle on the same sensibility that produced his novels.
