A huge honour to have done a third improvised sound poetry / vocalisation with the legendary Phil Minton. Part of this event at Kingston University https://www.writerskingston.com/sound/

There’s so much I could say about working with Phil. An essay it demands. But the words of Julia Rose Lewis, a brilliant poet and friend, who was in the audience, meant a lot to me.

“The duet seemed to ask the audience to consider the twin questions what is evolution and what is literature? In the sense that the work is extending the boundaries of poetry and therefore literature. / I kept finding myself wanting to lean forward. The imagined transparent barrier between and the feeling that leaning forward give me a better sense of what was happening. Yet it obvious that you both fully understanding one another making irony of the very word nonsense. / There were moments when I thought you were both apes, one ape saying something to one human, and both humans at the beginning and end.”
