Red Line Book Festival 2020

On Thursday 15 October I will take part in an event focusing on experimental writing as part of this year's Red Line Book Festival.

Held in October each year, the Red Line Book Festival takes place in various venues across South Dublin County. It is funded by South Dublin County Council and managed by South Dublin Libraries and Arts. This year's edition features a blended programme of online and offline events.

'Experimental Writing with...' is an online event also featuring Kimberly Campanello and Alice Lyons, and hosted/moderated by Gregory Betts. From the event description:

Experimental Writing has experienced a resurgence of late and the work of poets Kimberly Campanello and Christodoulos Makris, as well as novelist Alice Lyons, have been held up as part of its current re-emergence. Noted experimental poet and academic Gregory Betts will be hosting this fascinating discussion of where experimental writing is today, and where it will go next.

Start time is 6.30pm. While the event is free to attend from anywhere, booking is required. Tickets are available here.

With thanks to festival programmer Mark Ward for the invitation.

some mark made

some mark made is a new limited edition publication that considers hybrid, material and intellectually rigorous literary practices. Edited by  Sue Rainsford , it features "experimental and speculative writing in the veins of poetry, prose and criticism from Claire Farley, Shauna Barbosa, Caroline Doolin, Michael Naghten Shanks, Michelle Hall, Jonelle Mannion, Christodoulos Makris, Julie Morrissy and Sue Rainsford." Rainsford writes in her editorial: "Often, when literary activity foregrounds its visual or tactile elements, when it embraces process or takes place away from the immediate terrain of the page, it’s ascribed titles such as ‘hybrid’, ‘performative’ or ‘experimental’. These terms seem to soften boundary lines so that bodies of writing can be intuitive rather than narrative, sensory rather than descriptive. It is worth remembering, however, that literature is by nature expansive, tactile and interrogative." My contribution to some mark made  bears the
