Lately, I’ve been working on some erasures of the first book I ever read, Jules Verne’s Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Words have been hard to come by this year, so it’s been a pleasure and a relief to make poems by finding rather than writing.
Performing at the launch of SJ Fowler’s Sticker Poems in London last week. What a pleasure to perform again! & out in the wild too! Sticker Poems and Virtual Oasis, the anthology of AI-inspired poetry I read from, are published by Trickhouse Press. They also published my selection of minimal poems, ATOMISED, last year.
The best poem set to music since Having a Coke with You. Out now on Whities.
En Plein Air
I scroll thru
Hockney’s
Yosemite Suite
painted on
his iPad
en plein air
exactly where
I wanna be
among purplish
redwood forests
within earshot
of Ribbon Fall
I travel online
