'Foot, mouth and ear: some thoughts on prosody and performance' will appear in the On Foot issue of Performance Research, due out in the Spring of 2012. I take 'foot' in the sense given to it in prosody and return again to Douglas Oliver's considerations about the performativity of the beat in poetry (Poetry and Narrative in Performance, Basingstoke: The Macmillan Press, 1989). |
| A collection of essays on poetics and performance writing is still planned for publication in 2011 or 2012, to be edited by Larry Lynch. |
| Still hoping that Lee Harwood and I can get Loose Packed produced as a pack of playing cards. |
