catching up on November 2017: Cardiff Poetry Experiment


I was invited to read at Cardiff Poetry Experiment November 28th 2017 with John hall and Lisa Samuels. 

This is what I read:

I created Is the page like skin? ... but this is a screen of light in a new form for this event. 
In 2010 I wrote an essay on my MA Performance Writing “Folding into the Haptic”, I folded this essay up and transcribed it – this is taken from that version, using deletion, leaving whole phrases. The first paragraph is from the original.
It is somehow an introduction to me.



I sip from the Lily, written in 2017 but linking back to work on my fine art degree in 1998/99. Some themes just keep threading through.



Ysgwydd uses the text created for a surround sound piece of the same name during my MA Performance Writing.



Then I read from what was a current commission for Arcade Cardiff’s
Nid/Not writer (not) in residence: Caerdydd: Past and Presence
Spring dreams, huffing 1 & 3 [soundcloud track is slightly  longer piece and includes the listy version I read 1 and the more "expressive" alphabetical version 3 ]



Light full 1 & 3





Many thanks to Rosie for helping me finalise the order of work and to Josh for inviting me. And the terrifying panel afterwards…with Wanda - Lisa & John
And I decided to be both Flo & Maura
