The body is the last to forget,
.....and to forgive

(J.C. Fontes)


Palavras/Words

Lapidadas e esculpidas e depois já em chamas
elas se nutrem de luz e ar, de terra e água
e o que pesam não as comprime nem limita.
Com uma verdade de voar distante,
elas então (es)correm de você para mim
camufladas no toque suave do verso
propagando-se em tempos sem tempo,
por céus atemporais.
Elas, palavras, deslizam e se prolongam,
até ficam cambaleantes sob a chuva
perdem-se em um acolchoado de nuvens
e dali se transformam em luz do sol.


by Eabha Rose - translated for O Ecuador das Coisas

From Brazil and Beyond

I'm delighted to be a new columnist with a literary journal I have so much admiration for - O Ecuador das Coisas, edited by Carol of Art Brazil. Issue #4, soon to be here, features amongst its myriad of suprises, art editor Toni McConaghie's beautiful work as well as Didi-Huberman's exquisite account of  'what we see only lives in our eyes through what we see'. There's an exclusive interview with Angolan writer, Jose Eduardo Agualusa whose novel, The Book of Chameleons (translated by Daniel Hahn) received much praise from both The Independent and The New York Times.

O Ecuador das Coisas is truly an international journal brimming with art and culture!

Cut Up!

I am thrilled to have two poems included in this fantastic anthology, out today! Published by Paraphilia/Oneiros Books, it features some stunning artists and writers and is edited by Joe Ambrose and Antony Hitchin.

"The Cut-Up Method was 'invented' by the artist Brion Gysin and popularized by his friend William Burroughs. It had roots in Dadaism, whose Tristan Tzara threatened to create a poem by drawing random words from a hat. 

Creating a Cut-Up involves taking a given text and cutting it into single words, sentences, or paragraphs. The cut up texts are then rearranged by the artist – the creator of the new work.

This groundbreaking anthology features new and historic Cut-Ups by new and established artists, such as Cabell McLean, Dave Mitchell, Matthew Levi Stevens Kenji Siratori, Joe Ambrose, Gary J Shipley, Christopher Nosnibor, A.D. Hitchin, Niall Rasputin, Alex S. Johnson & more to be announced.

THE EDITORS

Joe Ambrose organised a Cut-Up event in London in April 2013 featuring new writing, film, and art. The author of 14 books, he has worked with Anita Pallenberg, Lydia Lunch, Gerard Malanga, William Burroughs, Marianne Faithfull and The Master Musicians of Joujouka. The Guardian has described his fiction as 'Unputdownable.' He divides his time between Tangier, Morocco and his native Ireland.

A.D. Hitchin is a contemporary practitioner of cut-up. His cut-up poetry was featured at the 'Cut-Ups @ Beat Hotel' event in 2013 and discussed in the academic text ‘Shift Linguals: Cut-Up Narratives from William S. Burroughs to the Present’ as well as at the Textual Revolutions Conference at the University of Stirling in 2009. Hitchin's debut book of cut-up, 'Messages to Central Control,' is available from Paraphilia/Oneiros Books." ( via Cut Up! FB page)

seven nova: moment



words and music of Seven Nova, who reminded me to share everything but still keep secrets ~ 'mathematically music can create this pure state of balance, which may feel programmed, creating a sense of immaterialism, pure forms, universals, the intangible.. but in doing so I do not sense the curvature of time, which is more elliptical and which (for me) feels more apparent when music has slightly offset undulating patterns and also rhythyms which "swing." .. classical music doesn't swing eighth notes, which despite elegant perfection also (to me) feels cold in a very fundamental way - I like this coldness though, at times, certain moods, detachment, subtle body projections, ungrounded.. zooming out, I imagine the gravitational force of a planet as it circles its sun, unable to break free from its orbit and spinning tens of thousands of miles per second on its axis, counter-opposing forces, somehow preventing the end of eternity, at least until self-destruction or the final event horizon - supernovae...'

Cut Up!

I am thrilled to be part of this stunning collection of artists and writers. Good work Joe Ambrose and Antony Hitchin and all who feature in this anthology!

from 'Embalmed' with Ring Master, Phil Lee - developed from a series of cut-up poems and first shown at DADA Film Festival, Denver in 2013, the project will continue as a series of performance pieces.






Saturday 15 February 2014

At fifiteen, my passion was creating my own music cassettes, recording my favourite bands and (as teenagers do) playing them over and over until I knew every word and note by heart. I started to experiment with cutting up pieces of music and sound and static and creating audio stories. I would use people’s voices, household sounds, traffic sounds and string them together. The stories for me were mostly built around spirits and visits from other realms. In a sense, I conjured up stories and then built sci-fi soundscapes around them. I think I hoped that in some way my creations would open a portal through which I would be inspired and maybe even informed. I suppose I was looking for messages and of course for escape.

A year later, I had my first experience of plant magic. The experience seemed to burst open portals. I remember lying on the grass with my boyfriend, watching the stars and feeling so connected to the universe. Holding hands, we talked as much as we could about art and philosophy and love. We spent that night lying together under the stars, trying to decode all of the secrets of the cosmos. Interestingly, I had a vision of a cityscape and a small loft apartment. The vision had been so intense that the following day, I drew a picture of it. Three years later, I found myself living in that apartment in New York. A lot of synchronicities happened for a couple of days after that experience. As is often recorded, colours, tastes, sounds had all been more vivid and in harmony.

The experience was replicated some years later without any mind altering substances. Again, synchronicities abounded as did the feeling of connectedness with the cosmos. This time, it was accompanied by an awareness that there is a balance, a harmony that can only be found through staying in the heart.

the blue dusk air,
swept it dark,

collected foam

CUT-UP - An anthology inspired by the Cut-Up method - edited by A.D. Hitchin and Joe Ambrose

Midnight mother,
a weary armour
this door
to a chamber
once forgotten
and almost dreamed.

This singing breeze
drums gently,
its broken bough
slipping, dipping
under feathered arches
