Other Room service update
We are having problems with some of our longer videos hosted by MySpace. Unfortunately, this means that the Stuart Calton, James Davies, Craig Dworkin, Michael Haslam, Nick Thurston and Tony Trehy readings and the Tina Darragh and P.Inman inerviews cannot currently be played. Sorry to all concerned: we will resolve this situation soon. Thanks to Jaime Birch for bringing this problem to our attention.

as the rushes were – Francesca Lisette
£8 (£1 P&P). 13pp.
This pamphlet collects poems – including Tar Orchid, published separately as a broadside last year – written between February 2008 and February 2009. Machine-printed but otherwise hand-made copies, with cover artwork by Paul Alexander Thornton, and designed using a new typeface by Daniel Rhatigan.
In the recent Openned Zine Issue 2, Luke Roberts said THIS about Lisette’s recent work: “… toying with obscurity, confident measure, I think actually being deliberately secretive as a form of intimacy, or a way of controlling intimacy. The highly ornate vocabulary of her poetry establishes a strange relationship with the listener: the way I follow Lisette’s work is like a grid, or aspects and planes of meaning and signifying which are constantly shifting. Maybe these grids and aspects and planes are attached to bodies, or at least a you and an I, even if those poles get repeatedly flipped and turned and examined.”
information as material
From Nick Thurston:
“Firstly, (and in another sense, finally!) we’ve readied a new information as material website. You’ll soon notice that it’s WordPress powered, for the sake of compatibility and manageability, and that there’s still plenty of historical information which needs to be posted. However, it’s current, it’s functioning, and we’ll be much more diligent about keeping it so than before. Have a look if you get a chance: www.informationasmaterial.com.
Secondly, attached is the general press release for an information as material-curated exhibition at Shandy Hall (The Laurence Sterne Museum), Coxwold (UK). It runs from September to late October and as you’ll read in the PDF there’s a lot on show and lots of new releases to celebrate. We’ll post full listings on the website nearer the time, but do contact the persons listed in the PR if you’d like to be kept posted by any other means.”
