My work is also featured in City State: New London Poetry (Penned In The Margins, 2009). I am currently collaborating on an Opera with composer Edward Nesbit. The first part of the Libretto is being published by Yt communication in late 2009 and is entitled Opera: Venus and Other Noises. I am assistant director of Archive of the Now and am currently working on a PhD at Queen Mary on British Poetry and Performance 1960-2008 with a primary focus on the work of Bob Cobbing.
