Paradigm of the Tinctures
The new ebook from Argotist Ebooks is “Paradigm of the Tinctures” by Steve McCaffery and Alan Halsey. This revised and expanded edition of “Paradigm of the Tinctures” by Steve McCaffery and Alan Halsey revisits the classic humanist idea of the Sister Arts where poetry is understood to be a speaking picture and a picture a silent poem. The revisitation, however, is bluntly revisionary and the result is a fresh text-graphic dialogue. Available as a free ebook here.

Ny Poesi
Ny Poesi: 3am magazine’s Maintenant interview series presents New Norwegian Poetry at the Rich mix (35 – 47 Bethnal Green Road, London. E1 6LA)
Saturday September 25th – 7pm – Entrance free to all
Jenny Hval / Endre Ruset / Paal Bjelke Andersen / Audun Mortensen
A free evening of International poetry and performance from four of the most vibrant and resounding young poetic talents in a grand Scandinavian tradition. Hval, Ruset, Mortensen and Andersen belong to a generation of poets that measure the sophistication of literary poetry with the groundbreaking developments of the avant-garde poetic practise and performance. This reading will feature poets who have already gained prominence for their originality and power, and seemlessly engage the boundaries of what poetry can and should become as we reconfigure poetry as song, as lyric, as art and text.
The event will also see the release of a one off special publication from Knives Forks and Spoons press featuring poetic collaborations between the visiting Norwegian poets and Jeff Hilson, Sean Bonney, Agnes Lehoczky and Sam Riviere.

Allen Fisher – new events
Richard Barrett’s Sidings reviewed
“This is a coal-fired collection with its roots in romanticism. Barrett is as fascinated by place and landscape as Wordsworth or Coleridge, but his is an urban, post-industrial pastoral. For Lake Windermere, read the Manchester Ship Canal; for the opium den, read the fast food outlet; for the storm scoured heath, read the corporate courtyard.”
