Books of collaboration

Two volumes of selected collaborations Enemies and Nemeses - and seven collections of collaborative poetry with numerous limited edition collaborative pamphlets. My collaborative bibliography, with more on each volume, is below. A full bibliography is here.

The latest volume of selected collaborations, NEMESES 2014 - 2019 Haverthorn press, is available here www.stevenjfowler.com/nemeses

From the publisher “No poet-artist has ever explored the potentials of multidisciplinary collaboration as thoroughly as SJ Fowler and Nemeses is a landmark publication evidencing that exploration. The book brings together over 50 collaborations and collaborators, placing poems and prose alongside musical scores, diaries, sculptures, films, photographs, scripts and more. It explores not only the grand potential for collaboration as an innovative, generative, playful and profound practise, but also aims to expand what is possible when sharing the live upon the page.”

Enemies : selected collaborations 2010 to 2013 - Penned in the Margins

Likely the first selected collaborations published in British poetry.

From the publisher “This ground-breaking, multi-disciplinary collection is the result of collaborations with over thirty artists, photographers and writers. Diary entries mingle with a partially-redacted email exchange; texts slip and fragment, finding new contexts alongside prints, paintings, diagrams, Rorschach blots, YouTube clips and behind-the-scenes photographs at the museum.”
