Stealing the Mona Lisa
(A characteristic lightness of touch and a restless comic ...)
A characteristic lightness of touch and a restless comic energy are evident in Greenhalgh's first book where inner and outer worlds combine in poems that crackle with satire. His range is impressive. Sensuous love poems, a debunking of the Apollo moon landings, the culture of the free market, the desert, and the shopping arcade are brought together. A large cast of diverse characters are featured: Marilyn Monroe, an Elvis impersonator, the trumpet player on the Titanic, a religious cult leader, the Royal Family and, the Pope.

The Invention of Zero
(Chris Greenhalgh's distinctive third collection is a book...)
Chris Greenhalgh's distinctive third collection is a book of sensuous meditations on time, mortality, love, and art. At its heart is a suite of prose poems. Intimate in tone, formally experimental and lyrically charged, they pick up and develop threads from his title, The Invention of Zero. Greenhalgh's collection is alive with vivid imagery and narrative excitement. At once passionate and ironic, dark and witty, the poems are acutely observed and enjoy a new depth of feeling. His language is sensitive, exact, and alert to the layered and luminous surfaces as well as the discontinuities of modern life
