Description
Poetry. Hazel Smith, author of the creative writing text, The Writing Experiment, shows us how it's done in this spirited book of performance poems, collages, elegies, meditations, explorations of gossip, uncertain identities, bodies and the city, to say nothing of "acts of omission." An accompanying cd-rom includes new media and performance works by Hazel Smith and Roger Dean. Hazel Smith, who emigrated from Britain to Australia in 1988, has published two volumes of poetry and performance texts, Abstractly Represented, Butterfly Books, 1991 and Keys Round Her Tongue, Soma Publishing, 2001, and made three CDs of her performance work, Poet Without Language, Nuraghic Echoes and Returning the Angles (all involve collaborations with Roger Dean). She is also co-author with Roger Dean of numerous new media works, many available on the Internet. She is a founding member of austraLYSIS, the international sound and new media arts group, and has performed her own work extensively nationally and internationally.
