This book was selected by Iain Sinclair to be one of his Christmas recommendations for 2007: "Nostalgia for Unknown Cities by the poet Ken Edwards (Reality Street) is the wild card: hypnagogic derangement as the urban dream dissolves before our eyes." More details here.

Lawrence Upton
WIRE SCULPTURES

 

Lawrence Upton has performed visual, sound and written scores and texts alone, and with others in groups such as jgjgjgjg, as well as a long sequence in performance and text with the late Bob Cobbing. Wire Sculptures proposes a broken raft of narratives as the poems carry the reader from northern Surrey deeper into the dynamegopolis.

 

“These poems vibrate between visual and sonic pleasures, recalling in their verbal play the kinetic works of Alexander Calder.” Alison Croggan
