That What Don’t Concern You

2020 : Kingston University Press / Enemies Editions : Pages
£6.99

A conceptual-narrative poetry collection that centres around a programmer in the UK's GCHQ internet surveillance department, who publishes poetry online and gets in trouble with his employers.

From the publisher “Confiscated in secrecy and leaked for poetic intervention, device #0 is as much a poetry collection as a sardonic belly tickle for the rank underside of our online reality. SJ Fowler’s “THAT WHAT DON’T CONCERN YOU” considers the paradoxes of life lived in the age of the internet, when the line between public and private disintegrates and inexorable intelligence surveillance is a given. Sinister and playful, ambiguous and precise, Fowler’s poems ponder the consequences this has for the self, for the watchers and for the watched.”
