Changing Piece is a new on going poem by James Davies which exists online. The base sentence of this online version was written 16/09/15.
Abandoned Word and print-based versions exist from around 2006 — about 50 poems were written intermittently.
In the Word version one word was deleted and replaced with another. After this the file was always saved so that on the computer there was only ever one poem in existence, the most current.
The poems were also printed out and stored in a box.

Tom Jenks has a new book out by the great blart press.
Spruce is poem of the long now, where everything that happens and has happened happens at once, where King John and Lenin occupy the same space as Piers Morgan and the cast of Glee. Written rapidly in longhand on lunch breaks, on public transport and in various provincial shopping malls and melancholic chain hotels in David Cameron’s Britain, Spruce could be called a business park pastoral or a sustained work of muffled hysteria, like someone screaming under a duvet.
The next Other Room takes place on August 19th at 7pm at The Castle Hotel. See the middle column for more details.
