Dear New Media friends
I am hoping that topics and themes discussed at the following links may be
of interest to you:
Presentations from the Concrete Poetry - International Exchanges symposium
in February in Cambridge can now be listened to again here:

We are also bringing the archival exhibition - *a token of concrete
affection *- which was at the Centre of Latin American Studies, to the
Brazilian Embassy in London. It will be open to the public from 20th
November to 18th December

There is a roundtable discussion on 1st December; all are welcome but if
you wish to attend then do please *rsvp *via the Brazilian Embassy site
(via link above).
I am also delighted to let you know that I am currently hosting a series of
concrete and sound poetry related 'conversations' on the radio station,
Resonancefm. Last week - 3rd November - the guests included Hansjörg Mayer
the great graphic designer and poet and you can listen to the conversation
which is primarily about sound poetry here:

Next week, on Tuesday 17th November live at 4:00 pm, guests will include
Professor Stephen Bann and the Brazilian Cultural Attache in UK, Hayle
Gadelha, on Brazilian concrete poetry and the forthcoming exhibition. You
can listen live on Tuesday at:
www.resonance.com
Or afterwards you will be able to catch it via the same mixcloud link:

On 24th November the programme will focus on Bob Cobbing and the challenges
of curating personally held as well as institutionally owned archives in
the domain of concrete, sound and visual poetry.
With best wishes
