Tom Jenks * now published
Tom Jenks’ second collection is out now:
Tom Jenks’ second collection is an open system interaction with the world and all its contingencies. Using fragments from mass media, signage, management doublethink and myriad other sources, the work slips between inner and outer worlds as they suggest themselves, with the * symbol acting as a wildcard to select everything that is the case.

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.’

Bob Grumann reviews ntst.
Extract and link below:
I was feeling too lousy to post anything here for two or three days, and wouldn’t today, either, although I feel a lot better. However, today I got a copy of Geof Huth’s NTST, the subtitle of which is the collected pwoermds of geof huth. It’s perfect for a blog entry because I can quote whole poems from it quickly, and because I found some pwoermds I can be quickly insightful about.
Geof Huth’s ntst published
Geof Huth’s collected pwoemrds ntst has just been published by if p then q.
ntst SAMPLER
if p then q‘s imminent next publication ntst by Geof Huth is at the printers. In the mean time here’s a sampler. I think you’d define it as a corker:
ntst: a continuation
Geof Huth describes the huge overhauls in edits the wonderous book has seen to date –
For the past few days, I’ve been working on the text of my next book. And I have to use the word “text,” because what I’m working on is the layout of the book, but it is also the manuscript of the book. As I work on the book, I remember other poems, tucked here and there in my life, in my memory, in my house. And I pull them out and put them in. The text has grown to 775 words, still not the longest book of pwoermds ever, which honor belongs to the marvelous Finn Karri Kokko.
Geof Huth ntst comes together
Ken Edwards reviews if p then q
“In Manchester, I see, the Other Room has been engaging new audiences too. Its co-curator, James Davies, is also editor of a magazine of “experimental poetry”, if p then q. The first two issues, which I haven’t got, were issued in envelopes. The third came in the form of a set of full-colour posters. The fourth, and current issue, is likely to cause apoplexy among some of the more austere adherents of post-avant poetry, but I love it.”

Geof Huth previews f[lintst)eel
Geof Huth writes about the progress of his up and coming if p then q collection on his blog:
I have spent the night trying to organize my collected pwoermds in some logical and reasonably consistent manner. Now, at the end of the night, I’ve got them in reasonable order and am looking at 100 pages of pwoermds, and about 669 pwoermds total. (Counting them all is made difficult by the fact that I’ve intentionally left in duplicates of some pwoermds, for esthetic reasons.

if p then q calls for manuscripts
The imminent issue of if p then q magazine issue 4 will be the last so that I can concentrate on doing more full length collections. I am therefore encouraging more manuscripts to be sent. Please see the lowdown at www.ifpthenq.co.uk or more specifically at http://www.ifpthenq.co.uk/contact.html for what the house style is. Replies will be reasonably quick although there is no definite time proposed.
At the moment I only publish around two/three collections a year; so please bear that in mind but I’d love to see stuff.
