Flood Drain
Tom Chivers
“I had a dream: a drift
on the spirit-level of a river
or a drain or a dyke
being a river in the clothing
of a straight edge”
Inspired by the extraordinary dream visions of the medieval poets and catalysed by a two-day exploration of the liminal terrain of the River Hull floodplain, contemporary writer Tom Chivers has crafted a long poem that meditates on the dual themes of dreaming and drainage.
Annexe is publishing Flood Drain as a limited edition two-tone pamphlet and cartographic artifact of Chivers’ drift along the River Hull.

Whale Hunt
SJ Fowler
“Time began with a bear then it became a Viking
family tree over grandfather to all of us (that matter)
the polite, the gentle born of the power to display force
but choosing not to do so in company resounds its glow”
Poet and vangardist, SJ Fowler, strives to encounter and confront all disciplines in the poetic tradition. His latest work starts from a root of Norse mythology and carves a path through contemporary poetics and language construction.
Whale Hunt, part of the Introducing series, is a curated section of Fowler’s Vikings work and is published as an illustrated pamphlet.
