   About London Word Festival

London Word Festival

London’s only alternative literate-arts festival is back. After twelve months spent conscripting the wittiest, wisest wordsmiths on offer, we embark on a mission to spread the good word and drive back the borders between traditional artforms.

Back comes the heady mix of live literary talent, high-profile comedians, musicians and performing artists; we venture further out into the unknown. New highlights include psychogeographical perambulations, film premières, a mini-festival of internet nerd-absurdity and much more. We’ve enlisted the likes of Phill Jupitus, Mary Hampton, Iain Sinclair, Bishi and Robin Ince in our mission to spread the words.

From the preposterous to the personal and the profound, we celebrate everything inspirational about the written and spoken word. It’s the only festival cooking up a thick-stew of words ancient, modern and futuristic, plated up in East London’s best alternative venues and all toasted with a large glass of well bottled bon-homie

Keeno’s made a new film at last! But Beware, he was riddled and dosed up on Night Nurse. Deranged out of his mind!

Here it goes! Swine Flu Horror!!!

Summer Literary Seminars





Feb 13 2009 11:29 AM

Spread the word: Summer Literary Seminars is heading to Italy for the first time, after ten years in Russia and Kenya, and would you want to miss writing side-by-side with Francine Prose, Robert Coover, Mary Di Michele, Vittorio Rossi plus wining & dining with local artists, musicians, and local do-nothings just because there's a Depression?

This is the way out of one, so head for the sun on 15-30 May 2009. And bring your pencils!

a little poetry from Keeno. writen in under a minuet. train of thought. no editing:

Highlighter pens

piercing light, so not forget
things of import
and what's good on telly tonight

neon art thou like 80's socks
I love thee



sequins

spang sping glit glit shim!
in all the colours that the rainbow just couldn't manage!!
purple chrome, neon green silver, shiniest black of black
fall off
not tasty.
in their big posse


HELIX ASPERSA (the Snail):

eyes on stalks
poke 'em
they go back in

cooooooooool

now into next door's garden via the gift of tennis racquet flight!
