it 1his 1940s graphic story george the purple spotted horse published by pendas productions reflected this sardonic response the hero is a horse of a different colour despite obstacles wins both race and girl jim kemp was also a practical joker the jokes sometimes on us kids the year after his near fatal coronary instead of a christmas tree he created a life size paper mâché figure of a black vulture its talons grasped a polished bough the cane he leant on at the beaux arts ball in the photo i have included embracing and at the same time defying his status as invalid he dressed as old father time for the beaux arts ball his companion was the normally staid museum curator clare bice as the new year baby in diapers their wives dressed as their nurses in the face of trauma some of us have learned to turn to humour as default levity is a way of taking control when you are feeling powerless laughter mitigates the effect of stress on the body maybe you can t control what has happened but you can always choose your reaction electing a light hearted response is a way of taking action so that the trauma is somehow lightened limited boxed in and manageable once back in charge you are free to create over time the practice of levity becomes a habit and then a character trait and sometimes a family tradition dad showed me how language is malleable elastic meanings shift words contain multitudes my work has a sound poet derives in part from that sense of possibilty words could be re defined through sound as homonym this kind of language emerges in my book cd collection

my trademark sound poems these works span the whole of my career they are a crowd pleaser in participatory performance because they re such fun i love to lift the poem off the page and plant it firmly in the imagination through humour as poems on the page these are concrete poetry in which the shape and motion of the words on the page are part of the intended effect in performance the vocal acrobatics elicit amazed response especially for first timers a sounding performance in a school setting is guaranteed to jar loose the inhibitions of the most jaded teenagers sounding is a hoot as our first and perhaps our last resource sounding allows for any eventuality for me sound poetry offers creative expression when words fail the enormity of emotions sub verbal sounding explores language in widening waves of individual expression until the experience becomes participatory between image and sound as a poem s priority i can not choose so the work becomes concrete and or performance poetry where improvisation interweaves surprising dimensions incrementally is a collection of sound and pattern poetry built up to a statement from a simple syllable it plays with sight sound and puns an externalised language the pattern poetry passes through traditional forms to current concrete structures and soundings meaning is produced through the patterned building of language assonance and transformation of thought through interaction each line tricks the reader into hearing more than one meaning a wall of sound gradually builds a coherent structure in the same way that children learn language as meaning emerges these poems are meant to be a shared exploration of sound in participatory play poetry comes alive as words spring and fall from the page creating visual and sounds patterns connotations and transforms the integrity of the language into a motion of surprise for the readers sounding explores language by widening waves of individual expression as the experience becomes participatory between image and sound the language s motion becomes the poem s priority the work becomes a concrete form of performance poetry where the improvisation interweaves surprising dimensions the poems are humorous responses to the stresses of contemporary life on a body that would rather follow the rhythm of its own phases sound poems burst out of the complexities of living in a setting that overwhelms the natural world with artificial stimuli poetry is my defence against such forces an energy outlet whatever the subject it is great fun to continue the play of invention in performance especially in participatory performances each piece is meant to lift off the page as you read it aloud is allowed so please try these words out on the tip of your tongue list

are no longer limited you soar as worlds unfold a wonder of words yours to explore now you have all the time in time out be yond dimensions bubble each with their own film surrounding where does your attention wander hold to the light or let go whatever works transmission ensues who cares what is real what wish full thought when thought stops i sit fingers poised about the keys awaiting the next
