The Liverpool Camarade event on Feb 18th 2015 will also serve as the launch for my new collaborative publication, 1000 Proverbs, written with the brilliant Tom Jenks and published by Knives Forks & Spoons press. I've been excited about this for a very long time. Tom and I have read from the work on multiple occasions and every time people seem to enjoy it. It is because he is talented and funny.
Soon the book will be available here: http://www.knivesforksandspoonspress.co.uk/
& you can see some of the many times Tom & I have shared our proverbial wisdom over the last few years here:
Held on March 30th 2012 at the Cornerhouse in central Manchester, Enemies of the North, as part of the Enemies projectm (www.weareenemies.com) celebrated the resurgent north-west avant-garde poetry scene evidencing the width of poetic practice that defines the many contemporary poets who came together from across the region in 13 remarkable performances.
Held at the Hidden Door Festival in Edinburgh, March 2014, a unique installation art & performance festival in the previously abandoned Vaults of the city (http://hiddendoorblog.org/2014/02/24/s-j-fowler) this special edition Camarade event saw 18 poets reading original collaborations in 9 pairs.
