UK and Ireland Poetry Tours 

Emerging from my Enemies project, and attempting to use collaboration and its deferral of the individual poet towards a live, active community based event philosophy, which inherently inculcates innovation and parity in vibe, I’ve co-curated five tours around the UK and Ireland. The idea was also to get out of London, focus on the remarkable experimental poets of other parts of where I’m from and ask those local to each town and city on the tours to make new collaborations each night, essentially allowing me to meet and curate and witness hundreds of great poets.

I’ve written travelogues and embedded the videos of all performances with pictures too, on pages specific to each tour, available below
