Crater 10: Ken Edwards - Millions of Colours

Millions of colours is the final part of Bardo: forty-nine prose pieces over seven days, a modern rewrite of the Bardo Thodol, the devotional work known in the West as The Tibetan Book of the Dead. “Bardo” means an interval or a transitional period. The setting here is the port and old town of Hastings, on the south coast of England. Previous parts of the work in various versions have appeared as Red & green, a pamphlet from Oystercatcher Press (2009), and also in the journals and e-journals Cannibal Spices, Pages, 10th Muse and Veer Away. It is hoped that the whole work will be published before too long.

Ken Edwards is the editor and publisher of Reality Street. His most recent book is Songbook (Shearsman, 2009).

FINITE LOVE

£5 / $10, Bad Press & CRITICAL DOCUMENTS, 2010 (20 pages)

Simon Morley writes: "The world is everything that oughtn't to be the case, and most of it has crashed here in this small pamphlet by Mr K**** and Mr W*****. I didn't enjoy myself, hated the whole thing, wanted to look away; but then again there is no one else to look to, it fills one's vision so. This is real Agent Orange in an imaginary garden. Have it."
