L Are there plans to extend this Anerley? Or even Penge West? Or down to the hellish depths of Waddon? P concerned -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lawrence Upton Sent: 27 July 2011 12:48 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: "London Overground" landscape - West Croydon to Norwood Junction "London Overground" landscape West Croydon to Norwood Junction Tuesday July 26 2011 Flowering stuff hikes up mounds; and piles, odd-looking, on to other form, over summits; which might be explainable if we could see what crap's beneath: tumbles and folds of growth under similar topoi to old duvets thrown clumsily or dragged off a bed. Smallnesses droop as no valley ever dipped, bent by surrounding. Low cliffs creep guardedly, predators; a sense of openness gives up at fences of varying ferocity. One sees, to some extent, when the trains roll, such space as moving film, and rattling a harsh unrelated sound track, connecting by slurred accidence. (NB for non Londoners: London Overground is a train service. "Overground" is colloquial for trains that are not Underground / tube - though much of that is above ground! Now one set of lines has appropriated the word. It's a train train system as opposed to a tube train system. I thank you.) ----- solo poems http://www.landscapeandlanguagecentre.au.com/current_journal.html http://www.landscapeandlanguagecentre.au.com/Peripatetica/Peripatetica_Upton _Try%20Valley.pdf http://www.landscapeandlanguagecentre.au.com/Peripatetica/Peripatetica_Upton _Walking.pdf ----- collaborative visual work:- http://www.poetrybeyondtext.org/upton-begbie.html http://www.poetrybeyondtext.org/begbie-upton.html ---- Lawrence Upton AHRC Creative Research Fellow Dept of Music Goldsmiths, University of London
