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.

Bibliography

Sample Text

Torch of Venus 1:

Birdsong
scours the morning

crouches in branches

peers through dreams.

Leaves are splattered
ink against
the creamy blue, neutral

wash 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.
