Time is moving fast and faster. 3 years in Spain after over 8 years in London, plus many other countries besides. The thrill of new places, like the thrill of anything, has a short lifespan, but it is still good, overall, here. Madrid was the first city, before here near Barcelona, and it is a…

And how could it be otherwise in a supremely tribal civilization like ours, where even artists feel compelled to band…

A NEW POETRY AND ARTS COMMUNITY BASED IN BRISTOL, UK AND LONDON, UK. OUR…

Erkembode (DAVID KELLY-MANCAUX) has created a saintly scroll of my poems (a minimalist version of Kerouac’s On the Road). Erkembode created the poetry scroll while working the gift shop at the British Museum. He said the till was going crazy spewing out poems instead of numbers for receipts. These poems are conversational vernacular poems. A…

Ewa is making chapbooks for my Victorian toilet bowl reading with Richard Barrett this Tuesday. Drawings by David Kelly-Mancaux. The Chapbook is called IT POPS. Ewa made a chapbook a few years ago with nail varnish for the cover called Balloons. I think there is a theme. http://www.artslav.com/

POEM WRITTEN TODAY AND READ INTO WEBCAM. Contrasts with my writing 2000-2005. And writing 2014-2019. It is fun to change. My life! Your life! Whose life is it anyway? I am interested in reconciling art and life (it is impossible). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qOb4mRX5PI

Kopenhaga by Grzegorz Wroblewki is one of those touchstone books for me. I mean the kind of book that sits on my best shelf with my favourite books of all the ages.Surreal rooted in the everyday. Surreal rooted in the historical. Letters from a human being from the Milky Way but currently somewhere between Denmark…

Marcus Slease reading Jeff Hilson from _In The Assarts_ NY School poetry meets the London school of medieval ass arts. Kraftwerk. Buster Keaton. Ted Berrigan. Francis Picabia & the sheriff of Nottingham. Jimmy “great charming girl” Schuyler. The ladies in waiting have left their nuts in a medieval thicket. Jeff Hilson pokes it right in…

Ron Padgett, like so many great NY School poets, is also a fantastic translator. I love his translations of French poetry. They are so fluid and contemporary. I especially love his translations of Apollinaire and Blaise Cendrars. Blaise Cendrars’ Complete Poems is one of my favourite collections of poetry ever. He is also a nomadic poet par…
