Cruci-un-fix-able

This is a poem not so much inspired by recent events in my life as it is a direct product of them. It’s intended as part of a collection of poems entitled “Love, Honour and Obey” which I hope to have finished sometime early in the new year.

Hard Drive

This is the seventh, and at the moment final, piece in a short series of Futurist inspired Words in Freedom soundscapes. Our home and work experiences are now so dominated by and focalised through the presence of computers and this piece attempts to mimic the sound of a computer accessing data, a series of noises that has rapidly become the unofficial musical accompaniment to contemporary life.

Vent

This is the sixth in a short series of Futurist inspired Words in Freedom soundscapes. This piece attempts to render both visually and phonetically the shape and sounds of the inner workings of a bathroom extraction fan or air conditioning vent.

In The Courtyard

This poem was written as a response to the Plundertronics-esque vocal composition called ‘Visage’ by Berio. The garbled, chaotic almost unhinged use of words and speech sounds in the piece is, I hope, mirrored in this poem through the use of incongruous and disturbingly bleak and/or nightmarish imagery.

Full

This is the fifth in a series of Futurist inspired Words in Freedom soundscapes. This particular image is a companion piece to ‘Empty’ and is attempting to represent the somewhat cumbersome and often difficult to manage form of the sonnet poetic form.

Empty

The fourth in a short series of Futurist inspired Words in Freedom soundscapes. This piece attempts to represent the simplicity of Japanse haiku poetry by using the phonetic components of the sound of silence.

Supermarket

The third in a short series of Futurist influenced Words in Freedom sound scapes. This image seeks to communicate the chaotic and absurd elements of the modern consumer economy by presenting a jumble of measures and expressions.

Pylon

This is the second in a short series of Futurist influenced Words in Freedom sound scapes. This image is an abstract representation of a power pylon and the audio effects produced by the flow of electricity.

Exhaust

The first in a short series of Futurist influenced Words in Freedom sound scapes. This one attempts to convey the sound and juddery motion of an exhaust pipe by using rudimentary phonemes to create an onoematopeic sense of sound and space.

In A Snow Storm Standing

A poem that tackles the subject of romantic rejection and links it to the gradual abandonment of heavy industrial enterprise in British coastal towns.

On The Salt Marshes

A poem dealing with old age, social failure, economic and ecological change as well as lasting class inequalities in contemporary England. It serves as the conclusion to a small collection of poems that focus on similar thematic concerns.
