Openned Zine #1

The Openned Zine is setting out with one intention: to provide poets, publishers and organisers with a space to publicly present explanations, thoughts, ideas and opinions that may not necessarily be representative of a final response.

The intention is to draw attention to how poetry and the thoughts and activities based on and around it are an ongoing and necessarily ever-changing set of boundaries and equivalent freedoms, which provide a shifting map of communities of poets.

Now available to view in Online > ePubs, featuring:

• Alex Davies on eBooks and the Small Press
• Alec Newman & Richard Barrett on Knives, Forks & Spoons Press
• Boris Jardine on Cambridge Literary Review
• Tom Jenks, James Davies & Scott Thurston on The Other Room
• Marcus Slease on Istanbul
• Linus Slug on FREAKLUNG
• Mike Weller on Home'Baked books
• Steve Willey on Writers Forum

Available in full-colour PDF or an easy-to-print black and white version.

Openned Issues (2006 & 2007)

edited by Stephen Willey, Alex Davies Published: Oct 08 Publisher: Openned Press Format: PDF Price: £free View free: PDF (6.5MB)

The Openned issue is a digital magazine series based on your work interacting with a concept, theme, object - anything we feel will inspire dialogue amongst poets. Every issue will last for three months in a state of flux, constantly added to and modified, accommodating work that falls under the brief, or work written in response to other poets.

Between 2006 and 2007, we created three of these issues for Openned.com. With revisions to the site and limitations of space and time, they were temporarily removed. Now the poetry has been collected and is sited in this publication. Poets featured in this publication:

• Brooklyn Copeland
• Alex Davies
• James Davies
• Trini Decombe
• Nikki Dudley
• Amy Evans
• Kai Fierle-Hedrick
• Allen Fisher
• Hacked By Krishna
• James Harvey
• Morton Hurley
• Tom Jenks
• Ross Kern
• Jow Lindsay
• Marianne Morris
• Andrew Nightingale
• Chris Paul
• Spencer Selby
• Hannah Silva
• Anna Ticehurst
• Michael Weller
• James Wilkes

The Openned Issues is completely free, in PDF format.

Scored piece for Helen, Olly, & Martin the Sound Man of Answer Me This!

--- We are poets, man. We are fucking poets. --- No we are not. I will not be described as a poet. It's an artform I do not enjoy --- --- Why? --- --- performance poetry, I'm sorry, it always makes me want to claw my own face off. Note on portable profession of performance poetry ... Mike Weller's scored banter between Oliver Mann and Helen Zaltzman on topic of poetry featured in "take two" Episode 63 (performed twice as Martin the Sound Man forgot to turn his track on) of their podcast Answer Me This!
