CAESURA has been exploring the recesses of poetry, language and sound with a series of stripped-back events since 2012. Experimental writing and music in intimate performances by innovative writers and artists from across the UK and beyond. Avant jive for the masses.

CAESURA #28 features Welsh avant garde poet Rhys Trimble, tape-troubling aural alchemist Posset from Newcastle, the deft and acerbic innovative poetry of Samantha Walton and poetry with visuals from local artist Rodney Relax.

Rhys Trimble is a welsh/english bilingual ‘word terrorist’ and author of ten or more progressively more experimental books. He is interested in genre-bending writing and the use of technology, music and performance in poetry. Editor of the contemporary poetry e-zine Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Posset is a Newcastle-based dictaphone improviser and Vocal Jaxx goof. Posset has been worrying the edges of the underground music scene for 10 years like a child with a stinky blanket. Wet glottal stops slapped onto damp C30.
Rodney Relax runs the Black Flower Press. He has lived and worked in Edinburgh since 1992. He was the co-founder of the Yellow Cafe (1994-2007) which showcased poetry, music and film from the underground. He performs in the band Northern Upland Sheep Strategy.

Samantha Walton is a widely published poet, who produced the Syndicate series of technopoetics events in Edinburgh in 2013. She now teaches at Bath Spa University. Her book ‘Guilty But Insane Mind and Law in Golden Age Detective Fiction’ is due out on Oxford University Press in early 2015.
