Phantasmal Repeats & Reading

I’ve just published a pamphlet entitled Phantasmal Repeats, on the occasion of a reading I’ll be giving on Saturday here in Durham. It’s a sequence of poems recently typed on a Brother 210 typewriter, composed over the last two years.

Two items have been inspiring me this week: Filip Marinovich’s brilliant new book, Zero Readership (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2oo8) and Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez’s debut album Why Is Bear Billowing? (Carpark Records, 2008).
