poetry series archive blog

Wurm im apfel was an irregular reading series in Dublin. It was started by me and Kit Fryatt back in 2008. In December 2009, there was an associated poetry conference, wurmfest.

Immediately after the conference, following geographical differences, I left wurm. I had a new job in Paris! Whilst there, I restarted poets live. Kit Fryatt continued running it for many years, until eventually she moved on.

I recorded series and conference readings. My efforts were fairly successful. All the same, I made some mistakes (especially with batteries), so not all recordings worked. I owe a particular apology to Desmond Swords, whose work I botched up twice.

After I left for Paris, Kit made some more recordings, which are included here.
