y'all, we had fun at the Nunnery Gallery this month. Readings from Maria Sledmere, Ghazal Mosadeq, Sascha Aurora Akhtar, Iris Colomb, Andrew Wells, SJ Fowler, & Julia Rose Lewis. Not in that order. Ya shoulda been there, but you can check out the work of all these poets!
looking for something to read? here is one of HVTN's 2021 titles, the dark, sardonic, The Continued Closure of the Blue Door by Vik Shirley is available here: https://www.haverthorn.com/books/the-continued-closure-of-the-blue-door
As Colin Herd says, the poems in this collection: "bend and squeeze in experimental and contortionist directions; they go beyond re-enchanting the everyday to actually weird us out of our complacencies".
Cover art by James Knight aka The Bird King
This collection by Joseph Turrent was an absolute joy to work on. We’re late, because pandemic, but got there eventually. And if you couldn’t tell by the title and these gorgeous endorsements, it’s a particularly timely collection of doom scroll poetry. Please support us by picking up a copy: https://www.haverthorn.com/books/the-moth-apocalypse

In one sense, reading is a great waste of time. In another sense, it is a great extension of time, a way for one person to live a thousand and one lives in a single life span, to watch the great impersonal universe at work again and again, to watch the great personal psyche spar with it, to suffer affliction and weakness and injury, to die and watch those you love die, until the very dizziness of it all becomes a source of compassion for ourselves, and for the language which we alone created, without which the letter slipped under the door could never have been written, or, once in a thousand lives—is that too much to ask?—retrieved, and read. Did I mention supreme joy? That is why I read: I want everything to be okay. That's why I read when I was a lonely kid and that's why I read now that I'm a scared adult.
Mary Ruefle, “Someone Reading a Book”
What does it mean to be ‘making worlds rather than finding them’ (Rorty), for a poem to go beyond acknowledgements of one’s own and instead to interrogate recurring / fractured / non-linear present(s) and small narratives, and how they feature in the world. What happens when a poem or poet concerned
Umber is a collection of excavations, a harking back to past lives that now only exist as sentences. In these six poems, that give a body to the phantoms of public histories as well as those of intimate memories, Owen Vince offers us a language for “climbing out of wounds.” Nadia de Vries
We will be launching our latest, UMBER, by Owen Vince, at the Peckham Pelican tomorrow December 3rd. Doors 7pm. Readings from Lara Alonso Corona, Eli Lee, Matthew Turner, Flo Reynolds, & Owen Vince. Londoners following us, come if you can. Free entry. Good pizza and beer.
Book is available from our site : https://www.haverthorn.com/books/umber

Strays
Iris & I are so happy to bring you ‘Strays’, by Julia Rose Lewis & James Miller. To be released on the 9th November 2017, this collaborative full-length poetry collection will be HVTN’s first book. In a series of found poems and response poems, the authors deconstruct and reinvent their source text, James Miller’s novel Lost Boys, which, in 2008, anticipated a dangerously paranoid society. A queer coming of age love story emerges. Sophie Essex, editor of Salò said:
Lewis and Miller deconstruct the obscurity of what it is we don’t know and take us -- the reader and the motives of another -- to an extreme. Together they concoct a cannibalistic stratiform of poetics; a work that is gloriously dense as it operates in the intervening space.
Strays is now available to pre-order! And each pre-order will receive a complimentary copy of HVTN 3.2, also to be released in November.
UK Orders (£10) UK Student (£7.99) Non-UK Orders (£13.99)
P+P is included in the listed prices. A5 / 116 pages.
from Strays by Julia Rose Lewis and James Miller, coming 9th November & available to pre-order now.
Welcome Our New Editor
Delighted to say that Iris Colomb is joining HVTN as the art editor, to manage covers and the forthcoming comeback of featured artwork from V4, and to consult on poetry submissions / solicitations. Her is some more info about Iris:
Iris Colomb strives to merge poetry and other art forms, applying a design approach to poetic projects. Her visual work has been showcased in the collective exhibition 'We Fiddle While Rome Burns’ (Donetsk, 2014), sold at auction in Versailles (2015), and 'Semechki’ (Семечки), her collaboration with Russian poet Eta Dahlia, will feature at the Poetry Library’s upcoming open day exhibition. As a poet, Iris has given individual, collaborative and interactive performances at a range of events in both London and France, for the Enemies Project, among others. Her poems have been published in Pocket Litter and Datableed, and she been a resident artist and poet at the 'Drawing Poetry residency’ at the Centre for Recent Drawing. Iris also curates events that seek possibilities beyond the traditional formats of poetry readings (notably: 'Drawing Breath’ and 'Erratic Scores’). Each reading acts as a separate live experiment, linking poetry and other mediums such as visual arts, film, sound, and design.
