This is a recording from our ‘Summer Bummer’ evening of po-Ems-de-terre at iconic Glasgow pub, The Doublet, back in October. A deluge delayed this event into the autumn, but summer is a socialist state of mind, whatever the weather, so that’s okay.
Expect in these poems weird dreams , homes oceans away, the River Clyde’s posthuman flow, queer decadent Black eulogy, “spinning twinks” and Caroline Polachek as a warehouse worker. Glitches also line the texture of this audio file — fonts change size, poems are screenshotted wrong, Face IDs won’t open in time, etc. These moments are like poems as well.
Featuring Hannah McDonald, Srishti Jain, Hannah George, Isaac Harris, Francis Jones and Ian Macartney.
Two debut readers are captured here, so maybe even moments like this, at the tired end of a tiring year, can let new things jolt up to grow?
