Casual Ties first appeared in the USA in 1983, and a second edition was published in 2010. This was in fact Wevill's first publication since 1973's Where the Arrow Falls, a major poetry collection, but this volume contains indefinable short prose: short stories, flash fiction, metafiction, prose poems - all of these descriptions might apply, and it is high time that they appear outside the USA for the first time. The volume appears as part of a thorough-going series of republications of Wevill's work here at Shearsman, covering all of his original poetry and translations, as well as this short prose collection.

David Wevill was born a Canadian in Japan in 1935, and was educated in both Canada and England. He has lived in Burma and in Spain but has made his home in Austin, Texas for the past forty years. While resident in England in the 1960s and 1970s, he established a substantial reputation as a poet, publishing four volumes between 1964 and 1974. He won prizes, was represented in all the major anthologies, and was included in the renowned Penguin Modern Poets series before his first full collection appeared. With his move across the Atlantic, he fell from view in Britain, although his work continued to be published in his native Canada. His main publications are: Birth of a Shark (1964), A Christ of the Ice-floes (1966), Firebreak(1971), Where the Arrow Falls (1973), Other Names for the Heart (1985), Figure of Eight (1987), Child Eating Snow (1994), Solo With Grazing Deer (2001). He has also published translations of Fernando Pessoa and Ferenc Juhasz.Associated in his early career with The Group, his work appeared in A Group Anthology before being selected for the Penguin Modern Poets series-where he shared a volume with David Holbrook and Christopher Middleton. Important for the development of his early work were Jungian theory and mid-century Spanish poetry, above all Garcia Lorca, Neruda and Paz. As Martin Seymour-Smith observed, "The Jungian 'search', an admittedly circular one, is Wevill's main theme, and so his poetry needs to be read in its entirety to be fully appreciated".
