Creative CV

What follows is a series of list of publications, both printed and audio, solo, in collaborations, magazines and other joint publications, performances and poetry readings. All lists are partial and gradually being added to.

This page is unashamedly under construction.

Audio

Because performance is such a major part of poetry there have been a number of cassettes and an LP released of my performances both solo and with others. The list as it stands:

  • Blues, Roots, Legends, Shouts and Hollers, Clive Fencott, Paul Dutton, Underwhich, ????
  • A number of audio cassettes of live and studio work by Oral Complex - Bob Cobbing, John Whiting and Clive Fencott - published by Writers Forum that I haven't sorted through yet.

Performances

Poetry should be a performance art; it is for performing.
