Global Poetry System is almost with us. The team and I are now closing down on the final stages of the website development, and it’ll soon launch live to the public.
In case you hadn’t heard, GPS is an online map, which users will be able to mark and flag with uploads of photographs, written words, video, and sound recordings, that convey the poetry of a place.
You can find poetry everywhere. It’s not just in books. There is always something poetical about the different places we find ourselves in and the experiences we have there. Soon you’ll be able to capture it and then tell the world where you were, by flagging it on the GPS map.
Paul Blezard has captured the poetry that’s recently been pulsating through the place we call Southbank Centre in his poem ‘A Word Album of the London Literature Festival 2009’. This will be one of the first entries on the GPS map, produly flagged at SE1 8XX. Here it is!
Festival feasting, literary leanings
Conrad, Coleridge, Colethorpe
Kureishi and the ‘Caine’.
Prizes for writing, classroom creativity
Miller, Mosse, Mieville,
Arundhati Roy.
Word worriers,
word warriors
Moon walkers
smooth talkers
Aldrin is a buzz and
Dwan is Beckett’s new ‘Not I’.
We say, Sissay,
we all scream for Sissay
Artist in residence
Poetical in temperament
Pushing back the membrance
Come and feast your mind.
