Here's James Wilkes and I performing  'Public-Private Announcements' at Camarade IV last Saturday . The event displayed a wide range of approaches to collaboration, in terms of both composition and performance. It's testament to a spirit of interrogation that currently permeates a particularly innovative strand of the poetry scene in London (extending elsewhere in Britain) - which is being nourished in no small part by Steven Fowler's tireless work and generosity. Footage of all 13 performances is available on Steven's YouTube channel . I particularly enjoyed Peter Jaeger with Tim Atkins, Kirsty Irving with Ryan Van Winkle, and Daniel Rourke with Holly Pester. An anthology collecting the texts from all editions of Camarade is due out later this year.

  For the fourth edition of the Camarade series of collaborations - and the first event in SJ Fowler 's remarkable  Enemies project - James Wilkes and I form one of thirteen pairs of poets who will perform work composed in partnership specifically for this event. Our piece, 'Public-Private Announcements', comprises text- and Twitter-poems exchanged between James and I over the second half of last year. Come listen/see us all at the Rich Mix arts centre , 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA on Saturday 9 February 2013. Start time is 7pm and admission is free.
