Prefatory Remarks on the First Proceedings of the Remediators

The convivial library is also a commons. We welcome you. The architecture of a library serves as the organising principle of this volume, arranged around four books that are linked by areas for circulation, exchange and conversation. Libraries are spaces that contain an enormous variety of texts and images, which are activated and re-combined by those who use them. Opening each of the following sections invites you to participate in a transfer of energy. As visual artists, we ask how to inhabit the language world, and so our offerings are deviant, playful, and unexpected; expressive, fluid and tender. As writers, we ask how to and new ways of looking at words as visual objects. Perhaps we reclaim ‘realia’ – those naturally occurring or human-made ‘real world objects’ failing to fit traditional categories of library material. Non-documentary items not rejected for being not manuscripts or not immediately useful for understanding them. Although contained here on the page, our writings speak to the tendencies of the human body: words exist as light in the eye, as electricity in the brain; words are breath and music, and they emanate from the same vital impulse that produces gesture, dance and movement.

A study of silence and light in articulate, minimal visual poetry, and an extraordinary debut from Berlin-based poet, artist, and translator Sylee Gore. Even Still is a concentrated exploration of the integrity of the image-word, beyond fragmentation, comprising three formally distinct but interdependent parts – staged sculptural objects, photo-poems, and asemic watercolours – brought together in a publication of remarkable poise and skill.

Poem Brut celebrates artistic creative writing and its relationship with neurobiology – embracing text and colour, space and time, handwriting, composition, abstraction, illustration, sound, mess and motion – affirming the possibilities of the page, the pen, the process, the performance and the voice in a computer age. It is a project that celebrates genuine authentic originality in poetry, without overt recourse to biographical context and identity, and resists a literature of control, neatness, poise and direct, didactic meaning.

Poem Brut has offered an alternative understanding of 21st century literature since 2017 and has formed a quiet movement in British, and global, poetry.
Series edited by SJ Fowler.
