SpeedPoets this Saturday (May 5) is shaping up to be one hell of a gig, with a feature set from one of its founding members, Rowan Donovan and a premiere reading by Nathan Shepherdson of his latest work, clouds in another’s blood.
clouds in another’s blood is published in a limited edition of 50 hand bound, concertina fold, artist books by local publisher, light-trap press and is a collaboration between Nathan and print maker, Julie Barratt. Nathan’s work has won many, many awards and I for one am incredibly excited about getting my hands on a copy of this new collection. Here’s a few words and images from the book to give you all a first taste…
and the ground
that is responsible
for this distance
is unable to remember trees
is held
under the clean pressure of snow
Thanks for the introduction to his work.
very cool…loved the first taste..and now i’m hungry i guess..
Yes, very cool indeedy
this is a wonderful partnership project and Nathan’s work is fantastic.
light-trap launched this series in 2008 with the collaborative project – ‘holding Job’s hand’, – poems by me and artist cover by the divine Clyde McGill. Risky and edgy publishing, light-trap deserve considerable support and praise for such innovative poetry and art publication.
