Simulacrum Press #26: ‘knewro suite’ by nina jane drystek

nina jane drystek’s knewro suite, a series of 3 sound poetry scores, is printed on 10″x7.5″ pieces of cardstock. Loose leaf. Published in an edition of 45 numbered copies.

The 3 scores which comprise knewro suite, bringing us back to the grid, are each striking works of a meticulously controlled concrete poetry where the merging and collision of letters exude their sonic potential. Their strength on the page is matched by the apparent difficulty of their actual performance to which various members of Quatuour Gualuour, the sound poetry group of which drystek is a member, have attested.

Recording of ‘Reading from Underneath’ (23/05/19)

Reading from Underneath took place at The Printed Word in Dundas, Ontario on May 23rd, 2019. The reading was organized around a visit by Sam Roxas-Chua who had made his way up from Portland and stopped for a few days in Hamilton so that friends formerly acquainted only via social media could meet (and read) in the flesh.
The Readers that night were Franco Cortese (whose beautiful chapbook Teksker I’d just published and copies of which that night handed to him,) Jericha Shepai, Gavin Le Ber, myself, Sacha Archer, and of course, Sam Roxas-Chua.
It was a truly wonderful night of readings and as such I felt it would be good to make the recording available here. Thanks again to all the readers and to James McDonald for opening the space to us–and apologies to Franco as the recording was only started near the end of his reading.

Simulacrum Press #23: ‘Erth’ by Hart Broudy

Hart Broudy’s new collection, ‘Erth’ collects eight unbound 5×7″ pieces of visual/concrete poetry.

The conspicuously absent A in the title of Hart Broudy’s collection Erth gives a hint towards how the reader will encounter the alphabet in this series. While Earth can refer to both soil and planet, and certainly the textures within these pieces connect to such references, the Erth that is presented by Broudy delivers us to a different plain.

Simulacrum Press #22: ‘Mumbles in Hollywood, California’, by Ben Robinson

Ben Robinson’s Mumbles in Hollywood, California is an 18 page, 5.5″ x 4.25″ pocket size chapbook. Saddle stitched.

Only recently has Ben Robinson begun to experiment with language from the depths of the internet. Mumbles in Hollywood, California extracts language from closed captioned interpretations of mumbles and gibberish within vapid YouTube videos, then re-frames and re-configures that material. As Bern Porter, master of founds, once wrote, “When you are dealing with waste, how do you avoid using crude material? So, you have to find the artistic value in crude” (Found Poems, by Bern Porter).

Simulacrum Press #6: ‘Running credit checks with no shame now’ by Daniel f. Bradley

Scan2018-01-24_110552_004

Simulacrum Press enthusiastically let’s loose on the world Daniel f. Bradley’s Running credit checks with no shame now. Printed in an edition 45, this colourful, saddle stitched chapbook spans 38 pages.

With it’s title lifted from the lyrics of Nelly’s Ride with Me, Daniel f. Bradley puts forth Running credit checks with no shame now. Using ‘the’ as a sign post, Bradley navigates a mass of lines encountered on the information highway to compose a driving poetic sequence framed by a question of ownership, possession, and the hierarchy which arises from these. Punctuated by Bradley’s continuing refusal to claim copyright, the spirit of open sharing dreams a mobility where borders/limits are a tool of creation, not of restriction.
