Recordings
Stamford Hill, North London
This recording was made on 11 January 2007, at a house in Stamford Hill, north London. If you can, please listen to the whole Torch of Venus in sequence, as it is a narrative, and its effect is -- I hope -- cumulative.

Sample Text
Torch of Venus 1:
Birdsong
scours the morningcrouches in branches
peers through dreams.
Leaves are splattered
ink against
the creamy blue, neutralwash of sunrise.
You
elsewhere, sated, tousled,
celluloid dreaming
flickering lids. Arms
stretching, re
compose.I
elsewhere, awake
between walls. Hearing
life's details,
wary daylight's
subterfuge.
