Tom Jenks interviewed by 3 AM magazine
An indepth interview in 3 AM magazine conducted by Stephen Fowler. Excerpt below, link to article and extract from * Tom’s next collection which’ll be published in the next few months by if p then q
‘it quickly struck me how almost everybody was ploughing the same few acres. I became more and more interested in doing things in a different way. I started to experiment with form and with space, using the page as a canvas rather than simply a frame. I began to incorporate images and found text and moved beyond using the computer as a typewriter, exploring the potential information technology offers for the production of texts. I wouldn’t say that I had done any more than scratch the surface in this regard so far, but it is something I remain committed to.’

Matt Dalby Reviews The Other Room 14
Interesting discussion of February’s readers and notions of performance in poetry and performance in general. Snippet below:
Despite snow there were around thirty people at The Old Abbey Inn for the latest Other Room reading on Wednesday. The readers were Steven Waling, Holly Pester and Rob Holloway. To be honest I found my attention wandering a lot throughout the evening so my account will be pretty unreliable. That wasn’t the poets’ fault, it’s just been a hazy kind of a week, but it may have contributed to some of the misgivings I had that will become apparent.
