A note on: celebrating Pyramid Editions at the Archivist, London

PYRAMID Editions was founded in autumn 2015 to release the experimental writing of younger authors aged under 30. It promotes and prioritises cross-disciplinary, non-traditional, and alternative approaches to writing and production. Each book consists of three, interrelated poems This reading at the Proud Archivist in Haggerston, London, featured readings from the four authors of the first series of Pyramid publications.

Great to officially launch my pamphlet Tractography, and more importantly, celebrate Owen Vince's Pyramid Editions at an event in London, by the grand union canal, at the beautiful Archivist venue. Pyramid Editions published four works this year, all by younger poets, all featuring three poems, conceptually united. I read with the three other authors on the list, Alison Graham, Sophie Essex and Andrew Wells, but more than this the evening was a generous, intimate, conversational exchange, more social than performative, and appropriately so, as this project, driven by Owen, taking responsibility as he is for the curatorial space of poetry rising up beneath the UK scene from especially young and clear voiced poets, was a great example of the flurry of considered activity so prevalent in England at the moment. I was proud to be involved. Visit www.pyramideditions.co.uk
