Concern of older practitioners that 'pure' poetry and art may be infected by the virus of rogue advertisement or embedded product placement was simply treated by younger practitioners as disregard. Ignore junk-slime pop-ups on MySpace. (The Making of Slow Fiction, Home'Baked Books by Michael John Weller, 2010).

"closure is a fiction"

Great quote on Beckwina's blog Revelation Nation. Met three pressfreepressers - Karen Sandhu, Ryan Ormonde & Becky Cremin at first Café 1001 Openned Table last Saturday, June 5th.

A poster sign for event was required and Press Free Press performance text-scroll was loaned by Karen & Ryan with offer of stretching extended taped paper assemblage whilst I hand-lettered sign with colour felt tips.

Sejal Chad is another member of the ensemble. First poets to remind me of a comic book poet team - just my fiction.

Why did old postering skills return so fast & furious? All I could remember that afternoon was Bob Cobbing telling me phonemes were part of consciousness as his father was a commercial signwriter.

Press Free Press also reveal booked poetry doesn't have to be read on every occasion. Why not hang text over a settee & mould paper into utterance fragmenté.

Fics from the sticks began as Space Opera, became Slow Science Fictions, developed into twenty-three titled Slow Fiction. May end up something else in electronic formats.

Like pre-twittered micro-jackanories cut n' pasted from early myspace fic-blogosphere entry.

Gates's 'Cartoon Kid' tag came from drawing graffiti in high-risk locations. The upper blocks of Sinkmoor were covered in colourful and obscene squiggles. Like his father, Gates was the artistic type.
