With a background in the visual arts, I take a huge delight in the mysteries of colour. How white light refracts into seven glorious hues within the visual spectrum, bounded on either side by infra-red and ultra-violet is a wonder and an endless fascination. So I invited a few like-minded poets who I knew would share my passion to join me and contribute to this collection. All I asked of them was that they use the colours of the rainbow (as identified by Sir Isaac Newton) to act as a catalyst for their work and to take that forward in whatever way they wished and they have certainly done that. Subjects range from Bodmin Moor to debates about Newton’s classification system to the artist, Yves Klein’s patent for international blue to political/ecological concerns and more. I have been aware of some of these poets for a lot longer than others – often through a myriad of family links but I feel a very close connection to all of them and I must thank them for taking the time to support me in this project. Another ‘thank you’ also goes to my fellow writer/poets who have kindly provided introductory essays to the contributing poets.

Launched at the European Poetry Festival on 27th June 2022
From its inception the European Poetry Festival has worked in partnership with the Austrian Cultural Forum London to present remarkable events that celebrate live literature, innovation in poetry and collaboration. Since 2018 poets from across Austria have visited the UK annually, to present new works made in pairs with local, British-based counterparts. These live poems, made for these nights, find themselves in print, for the first time, for this special, limited edition anthology. From the multi-lingual to the visual, from the the theatrical to the conceptual, these poems are as dynamic on the page, newly fashioned for that purpose, as they were when shared live, in the remarkable venue of the
ACF London.

The European Poetry Festival celebrates, in the UK and beyond, the grand resurgence in avant-garde and literary poetry that has marked the 21st century in Europe. It aims to not only innovate what a live poetry experience might be, but to inculcate community and engagement between poets across the continent, as well as between new audiences and complex poetries.
