Bio
Adam Horovitz is a poet, journalist and editor. He was born in 1971 in London and raised in Gloucestershire. He has written poetry since childhood but started to take it seriously in his early 20s, becoming involved in the performance poetry scene and appearing at various festivals, including Glastonbury and Cheltenham Literature Festival, and participating in the early Poetry Slam scene – he competed in the second slam in Britain, at Glastonbury, in 1994. He also took part in the inaugural Days of Poetry and Wine Festival in Slovenia in 1996. .. His poetry has appeared in a number of magazines, including Acumen, Tears in the Fence, SAW, Tellus, Fourth World Review, Hand + Star and New Departures. He has also been published in a number of anthologies, including The Orange Dove of Fiji (Hutchinson, 1989), The Bristol Slam Anthology (Pimps of the Alphabet, 1997), Oral (Sceptre, 1999) and Asking a Shadow to Dance (Oxfam DVD, 2009). He has also been the poet in residence for Glastonbury Festival website in 2009 and Borkowski PR's website from 2005 to 2007. .. Since 2000, he has concentrated more on the written word. His self-published first pamphlet, Next Year in Jerusalem, was released in 2004. His most recent pamphlet, The Great Unlearning, was published in 2009. His first full collection, Turning, is to be published by Headland in 2011. .. Since poetry takes some considerable time to pay, he has supported himself with a number of jobs, including work for the Glastonbury Festival website, as arts editor for the Stroud News and Journal, ghostwriting, copy writing for a PR company, sheep dipping, bar work and more. .. "Tactful and tactile, he has his own true voice, speaking his occasionally disturbing material with a light yet firm touch." Anthony Rudolf, The Jewish Quarterly. .. http://adamhorovitz.co.uk -

I thought you might enjoy trip poetry-- evolved to progressive house-- produced in film.
Here's my Sun Dance, with music by the incredible J. Scott G. and video by Skye:

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem, & some songs, on myspace...
Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way),
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me,
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay;
Before, on either side, Marine Parks -
The southern-one a most beautiful place,
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above)
Onto the South Pier I made my way:
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove -
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood,
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun,
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
(C) David Franks 2003

Not bad, thankyou. Just found out I'll be at Cheltenham Slam again this year. Will you be there? Same old poems from me, I'm afraid.
Can Yr Awen
rhwng mor a mynydd,
tir a'r gwagle;
Awen.
o Annwfn dyfn i Geugant pur,
Awen.
can a cherdd yr hanfod,
blas melus Pair
a chroth y Dduwies,
Awen.
dirgelwch. addewid ein cartref,
gwirionedd trysor tywyllwch;
Awen.
goleuni. ysbrydoliaeth.
clywch. gwrandewch.
o Wion Bach i Daliesin,
mae'r Awen ynom oll!

The Song of The Awen
between the sea and the mountain,
the land and open space:
Awen.
from the depths of Annwn
to the purity of Ceugant
Awen.
of song and poetry, the essence
the honey-taste of the Cauldron
the womb of the Goddess,
Awen.
the mystery. the promise of our home
the true treasure of darkness;
Awen.
illumination, spirituality.
right here, listen!
from Gwion Bach to Taliesin
the Awen is within us all!
