Ekleksographia

A new issue of Ekleksographia online magazine, ‘William Blake and the Naked Teaparty,’ guest edited by Philip Davenport.

This issue features textworks that emphasise the touch - handwrit and haptic – particularly pieces that consider emotional engagements, human space - that weird trace and corporate/military erasure of the handmade, the human touch, the not-digital. These qualities link into the alternative tradition of poetics - and to 'outsider' artists who are owed a debt by the experimenters (an IOU all the way back to Will Blake, he and the Mrs sitting on the lawn in London afternoons, naked, drinking tea).

Geof Huth at the Text Festival

Geof Huth at the Text Festival (AAC, 27min, 9.9MB) Audio of Geof Huth reading at this year's Text Festival. I have cleaned the audio up as much as possible but due to the rudimentary nature of my recording equipment (an iPhone left in a pocket) headphones may be required. It is worth the effort.
