Details of the show I've been working on for Resonance FM on Experimental Poetics, starting next week. To tune in, listen online or visit 104.4FM.
This series, featuring four experimental poets from the UK, explores a rich variety of work that aims to foreground the materiality of language and promote process-led writing approaches. Poet and writer Anna McKerrow talks to her contemporaries about issues of the personal, or apparently personal, in experimental poetry; the presence and use of digital media in poetics; the distinctions between "experimental" and more mainstream work; the book as text object and the relationships between versions of things - books and films.
The series also considers the current experimental poetry "scene" and poetry's relationship to punk, butchers, meat, rage and subversion.
In particular, the series will profile four recent collections of poetry from the innovative poetry press The Knives, Forks and Spoons Press.
