Published - Recently Attracted Reality Influencers

My new publication! Selected meme and screenshots poems. Made a fair in lockdown, scrolling through me phone, clipping image text and net weirdness. Michael Sutton at OU press has done a great great job fitting this, setting it and ordering and making a proper pamphlet, gaudy as the material itself. I’m really happy with it, the latest in my weird poetry series, buyable here for a fiver https://overgroundunderground.bigcartel.com/product/recently-attracted-reality-influencers

But if, like Wordsworth, you think poetry should be made out of everyday speech — which for Fowler is the automatically generated lingos of the internet — this could be the book you’ve been waiting for.” —Philip Terry

”It’s just meme, meme, meme with Steven J Fowler. Like some svengali of internet trash, here he orchestrates social media mishaps and clickbait into a warped chorus, which simultaneously engages and disassociates in its absurd and mocking warble.” —Vik Shirley
