Banned. With. collaboration with Absent on Arrival

I will never get over what a gift and a joy it is to make work with artists you admire.

After months of over-excited online plotting, my friend and sound artist Gennaro Sallustio (aka Absent on Arrival) and I were thrilled to release our collaboration on Banned. With., one of the poems from my debut poetry collection, Public. Open. Space. (Fremantle Press, 2023).

Banned. With. was inspired and informed by a six week digital poetry residency at the Hong Kong Arts Centre in 2018, part of the Asialink Arts Creative Exchange program.

My words and Gennaro’s soundscape explore how digital and physical spaces are controlled and restricted, resisted, protested and endured.

You can listen to the track on Bandcamp.
