Part two of the Printed Poetry Project, curated by Angie Butler, and centred around an amazing residency collaboration that took place this past May when myself and Angie visited Pat Randle of Nomad Letterpress at Whittington Press.

I documented that week here, and it was a rare chance for a deep exchange between letterpress artists and printers and poets, which led us to this symposium at the Arnolfini in Bristol, where Angie extended the dictum out to many in the field who are exploring the possibilities of poetry and letterpress.

A day of talks, a pop up bookfair and for Angie, Pat and I the release of our new publication 25 poems. I had the chance to participate in a roundtable, talking of our project and my experience in general, and got to meet some extraordinary artists and poets. There was also the ‘publication’ of a poem of mine, written for the occasion, on goodie bags given out to everyone, or released, in a limited edition of 80. You think you bag now, a poem for the ages, one of the great bag poems of our time.
