JUPE : Japanese UK Poetry Exchange
September 2022 and January 2023 with multiple events in both Japan and the UK.
With Kyoko Yoshida, fukudapero, Colin Herd and SJ Fowler, and all latest lineups here https://www.theenemiesproject.com/jupe
A remarkable international poetry project, featuring new collaborations made by Japanese and British poets across the globe, performed at six special Camarade events taking place across the UK and Japan. Centred around the creative and curatorial work of Fukudapero, Kyoko Yoshida, Colin Herd and Steven J Fowler, JUPE will see events in Norwich, London, Glasgow, Kingston upon Thames, Kyoto and Tokyo across autumn 2022 and early 2023. Each events will feature the four primary collaborator protagonist poets as well as local poets invited to contribute new duets, made for the night, too. A literary project that aims to break new ground, emphasising the possibilities of poetry and performance over and alongside translation, and to forge new bonds between two nations, exploring what is possible for modern poets working across languages, styles, cultures. / Supported by The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, Daiwa Foundation, National Centre for Writing, Writers Kingston at Kingston University and Glasgow University.
