"I rise - a dazzling Dionysian apparition - from the ashes of time - as the intellectual hellcat; a poetic hero extraordinaire.........the syntactic pyromaniac with a jugular full of flares."

if you’re going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the way. this could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs and maybe your mind.
go all the way. it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days. it could mean freezing on a park bench. it could mean jail, it could mean derision, mockery, isolation. isolation is the gift, all the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. and you’ll do it despite rejection and the worst odds and it will be better than anything else you can imagine.
if you’re going to try, go all the way. there is no other feeling like that. you will be alone with the gods and the nights will flame with fire.
do it, do it, do it. do it.
all the way all the way.
you will ride life straight to perfect laughter, its the only good fight there is.
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
“poetry and music with the post-avant crowd for your Sunday afternoon pleasure”
Third Sunday of the month, 3-5 pm, Café Oto, 18-22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London E8 3DL £4 entry.
February 15: Sarah Jacobs with Imogen Smith & Alex Walker + Richard Makin (art & language) + Dawn Scarfe & Mel Gough (music)
Art, language & music coming together. Sarah Jacobs is a sculptor making objects, performance, installation, books on paper, and books in electronic form. Her electronic piece Deciphering Human Chromosome 16: We Report Here uses text in a visual way to document the ethical, economic, political and philosophical polemics associated with mapping the human genome, and their changes through time. Richard Makin is a writer of fiction and poetry and a visual artist. Experience his language as a complex and haunting landscape to drift across. Carillon is an experimental sound performance by artists Dawn Scarfe and Mel Gough. Guitars are tuned to resonant nodes in cymbals to produce a rich bell-like sound. The aim is to investigate accents and textures within the spectrum of resonant sound in immersive and meditative live exploration. Expect from this afternoon completely new stances on language, music and performance!
March 15: Paul Taylor's Trombone Poetry (music + words) + Uru-Ana (music + words) + Mike Weller (words +)
April 19: Abi Oborne + Holly Pester + James Wilkes

Thanks for the Add Tears. I heard you also put on Poetry Tours ... we've been doing similar work over here on the Emerald ... through Ó Bhéal. Pity I missed you during my UK tour this year (6 readings, 5 cities).
