Fiender in London - Rich Mix Arts Centre : Saturday January 28th 2017 : The Enemies Project: Fiender is a multifaceted transnational collaborative poetry project engaging poets from both Sweden and the UK. Brand new collaborations were commissioned for this unique literary event, pairing visiting Swedish poets and their British counterparts alongside other 'Camarade' pairs of poets invited especially for the evening.
I enjoy collaborating with Aase Berg. We put on something conceptual, something about surprise, coldness, fakery, a satire I suppose, about the opinions of others. And about liveness against the page. A new work for the new audience. We had fun doing so.
This event was a return to the Camarade Harry Man and I put together at the Stockholm International Poetry fest last November, but this time, in enemies project style, pulling in 20 poets in all, 3 from swedeland, and a 100 people to witness the 10 new works. It was a fun evening, full of energy. All the videos www.theenemiesproject.com/fiender
