Wow Wow Wow Receiver


This week, from 11th October, I'm participating in a project called 'Poetic Intervention' at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, without travelling to Frankfurt. Four poets from different countries or locations will be writing live online at certain times each day. We'll also contribute images. The texts and images will then be compiled and published as Wow Wow Wow Receiver on Friday. It's an experiment in digital writing and publishing. Should be fun.
The project was conceived by Duncan White, from the University of the Arts, London. You can read more about it here.
