BA biggest loser in falling FTSE
Speculation about airline's survival plans after its record loss acted as a drag on the main market today
British Airways was the FTSE 100's biggest faller with its shares dropping 8 per cent after speculation about the troubled airline's survival plans.
Shares in the group, which last month reported a record annual loss of £220 million, dropped 11p to 125.4p after reports at the weekend that it had clashed with its pension trustees over a higher-risk investment strategy.
It was also said to be weighing-up plans to sell off its OpenSkies subsidiary, which runs flights from Paris and Amsterdam to the United States, just a year after it was created.
The drop helped to drag down the broader market which gave-up 52.75 points to 4,293.18 points in early trading.

text: India Hope Kashmir interlocutor's talks will provide some breakthrough: Rajnath Published 3 years ago on November 11, 2017 By WeForNews Desk File Photo Rajnath Singh Share Tweet Lucknow, Nov 11: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that Kashmir interlocutor Dineshwar Sharma after holding talks with all stakeholders would come out with recommendations on further improving the situation in the state, and hoped the efforts would provide some breakthrough. He also described radicalisation as a "global phenomena", and said India has been least affected by it because of the Muslim community's faith in true Islam. He accused Pakistan of destabilising India. "Our neighbouring country is not desisting from its mischievous acts. It has been trying to disrupt us," he said, speaking at an event. Claiming that the situation in Jammu and Kashmir has improved a lot since the new regime took over in Delhi, Singh said: "The number of incidents have now lowered from 6000 in 1995 to 300 today. There has been improvement in the situation. "Recently we have appointed Dineshwar Sharma as our Special Representative to Jammu and Kashmir. He will talk to all the stake holders and come out with recommendations that what steps the central government should take further to improve the situation," he said hoping that the efforts would be fruitful with some "breakthrough". Rajnath Singh's remarks came a day after the Union Home Ministry formed two new divisions to exclusively deal with emerging security challenges such as radicalisation and cyber crime. Sharma on Friday concluded a five-day visit to Jammu and Kashmir and said he would return soon to continue his mission to hold a sustained dialogue process that includes different viewpoints in the state. On radicalisation and the Islamic State, the Minister said: "There is a general perception that radicalisation is happening. It has become a global phenomenon. As far as India is concerned, it has the second largest Muslim population after Indonesia. Despite that, it has been least affected." The BJP leader, however, gave credit to Indian Muslims for rejecting the Islamic State and its ideology. "I would like to give credit to followers of Islam in the country," he said.

Another round of talks with the farmers is scheduled for 2 pm on Saturday.The farmers are demanding the repeal of the three farm laws passed by Parliament in September.The government, however, maintains that the new laws will provide farmers with better opportunities.

Published 3 hours ago on December 5, 2020 By IANS Singapore, December 5 : Adar Poonawalla, the chief executive of the world's largest vaccine manufacturer Serum Institute of India, is among six people named 'Asians of the Year' by Singapore's leading daily, The Straits Times, for their work in fighting the Covid pandemic.Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII) has collaborated with the University of Oxford and the British-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca for making the Covid vaccine, 'Covidshield', and is conducting trials in India.The other five named in the list are Chinese researcher Zhang Yongzhen, who led the team that mapped and published online the first complete genome of Sars-CoV-2, the virus that sparked the pandemic, China's Major-General Chen Wei, Japan's Dr Ryuichi Morishita and Singapore's Professor Ooi Eng Eong, who are among those at the forefront of developing vaccines against the virus, and South Korean businessman Seo Jung-jin whose company will enable the making and dispensing of the vaccines and other Covid-19 treatments to the world.Collectively referred to as "the virus busters", they are heroes of a kind, having devoted themselves to the pressing cause of resolving the coronavirus pandemic, each in their own capacity, the daily said."Sars-CoV-2, the virus that has brought death and hardship to the world's largest and most populous continent, is meeting its tamer in The Virus Busters," the award citation said."We salute your courage, care, commitment and creativity. In this peril-filled hour, you are a symbol of hope for Asia, indeed the world."The Serum Institute was founded by Poonawalla's father Cyrus Poonawalla in 1966.Poonawalla joined the Serum Institute of India in 2001 and became the CEO of Serum Institute with complete control of the day-to-day operations of the company in 2011.Poonawalla said that he had put USD 250 million of his family fortune into ramping up his institute's manufacturing capacity."I decided to go all out," said Poonawalla, 39, who has pledged that his firm's COVID-19 vaccines will help supply lower- and middle-income countries that face significant disadvantages in the quest to obtain them.Poonawalla said his institute is helping poorer countries level up in access to vaccines.In the big picture of ending the pandemic, commonality of purpose is key, said The Straits Times, Singapore's mainstream daily.The Straits Times Asians of the Year have led the way, as have scores of other individuals in their own fields. When an end comes into sight, it will be due in no small part to these people who – undaunted by the tumult – have committed themselves to the sobering, much-needed work to put together an exit plan from the crisis, for humanity."There has not been a day this year when the pandemic has not been in the news. Straits Times' editors felt there could be no more deserving recipients this year than the people squaring up to Asia's biggest-ever health challenge, engaged in pioneering and courageous efforts to prevent the highly contagious virus from wreaking more damage," Bhagyashree Garekar, Straits Times' foreign editor, said on Saturday."In a year that is ending with a wish for great resets… Asia's virus busters are the face of hope on the horizon," said Garekar.Between them, the recipients of the 2020 award capture the entire trajectory of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.In deciding to honour The Virus Busters, Straits Times editors had in mind those who have, in one way or another, enabled the complex, multi-stage process of preventing as many people around the world from getting the deadly disease in as little time as possible."Each year, ST editors seek out a person, team or organisation that has not only made or shaped the news, but also helped contribute positively to Asia in the process," said Warren Fernandez, editor-in-chief of Singapore Press Holdings' English/Malay/Tamil Media Group and editor of Straits Times."This year, we naturally looked to those involved in the fight against Covid-19, which has dominated the headlines. We debated long and hard, but finally agreed on a group of people who have done the most to help find an answer to the crisis brought on by the virus."They are a disparate group whose collective efforts have pushed forward the search for vaccines, allowing these to be discovered and delivered with an urgency never attempted or seen before. Their commitment and actions have helped save lives and give hope to people all around Asia, and the world," Fernandez said.

Just as the Britishers cheated, the Union Government also wants to deceive us. We have single demand to repeal three agri laws, the Electricity Amendment Bill 2020 and the recent amendment in the Environment Protection Act.Sarwan Singh Pandher, general secretary, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, said, "The Centre should assure minimum support price on all crops. Around 25 vehicles of the union are going daily to Delhi. On December 11, more than 500 tractor-trailers will leave for Delhi."Addressing the activists during the 'rail roko' protest in Jandiala Guru, Pandher said Capt Amarinder's statement (farmers are a threat to national security) is highly objectionable.Gurbachan Singh Chabba and Jarmanjit Singh Bandala said the central leadership of the Congress had convened a special session by Sonia Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi demanding repeal of the agri laws while Capt Amarinder was speaking on the behalf of the BJP.Meanwhile, a group of residents from Malanwali village and members of the Amritsar Bar Association led by Advocate Kuljit Singh left for Delhi to participate in the agitation.

LAWS are an agreement among people to Not Do, or To Do agreed things.
OUTLAWS are people who do not agree.
Ghetto people, do not agree as they have been oppressed for Four-Hundred Years, and therefore are exempt.

Elise Hadgraft / corporationpop
I'm essentially the ghost of the Manchester poetry scene … loads of people have a story about seeing me, very few of them are true. #HYSTPoet
E.Hadgraft and corporationpop are two very different poets living inside elusive Mancunian wordsmith Elise Hadgraft. Where E.Hadgraft's poems are quiet, poised, beautifully realised musings on love and loss, corporationpop's music based poetics are down at heel, messy, kitchen sink musings. Needless to say, we at Verve love them both, but we felt that one person's two quite different poetic approaches deserved their own spaces – their own front covers – their own titles. Thus comes into being Elise Hadgraft's dual collection-in-one – Now There Are No More Love Songs/ Mount Olympus Is Empty
Elise describes it as 'a double sided poetry collection of old and new pieces with original artwork. It's full of swearing and pain and would probably be an excellent Christmas gift for somebody you don't like very much.' We agree about the swearing and pain, but think it would work as an incredible gift for someone you like loads!
Side One (to use music terminology), Now There No More Love Songs is described as 'an analogue catalogue by corporationpop'. Here's what you need to know about it…
In 2017, corporationpop emerged as a result of Northern beat poet Elise Hadgraft's late night drinking sessions in a suburban kitchen. Although she no longer drinks, she continues to produce and release music under the moniker of corporationpop. A look back at ten years of procrastination, 'Now There Are No More Love Songs' is the closest Elise Hadgraft ever wants to get to a best of. It includes some notable performance pieces from an often volatile and divisive career, as well as a hodgepodge of corporationpop lyrics and a few long forgotten relics.
These are words for the down-trodden and pissed off – those who fight back one minute and sulk off and hide the next. For words that were meant to be accompanied by a tinny electropop backing-track that sounds like a synth played on an ironing board, these poems read incredibly well. The angry fragility contained within them is there for all to see.
You can download corporationpop back catalogue in all its suburban click-track glory if you follow the link:
You Write Songs (From Now There Are No More Love Songs)
You write songs like I recite shopping lists
Staving off forgetfulness
With bread
And milk
And washing-up liquid
It's your turn to do the dishes
Stretched as we are between
Sex, asthma and domesticity
Sex City citizens
So far from sexy
We're constantly walking
Since public transport is a luxury we can't afford this week
And wine
And cheese
Four pounds seventy on the meter to see me through until Tuesday
Even heat
Even heat's a pipe dream.
You write songs like I boil kettles
Fill baths by the pint and buy
Only the essentials
And apples
And toilet roll
And soapbox Britpop singles
You write songs like I put clingfilm on windows
Well-honed dexterity
Three degrees above freezing
You write songs like sweets.
You write songs like sweets old ladies fed me
On suburban streets
In nineteen ninety-five.
You write songs like songwriters lie
You write songs like songwriters lie
You write songs like songwriters lie
[Perhaps the question is less have you seen this poet, but which poet exactly are we looking at?]
Side Two: Mount Olympus Is Empty, under the moniker of E.Hadgraft, is another beast altogether.
Over to Elise again: 'Started in the basement of a cult complex on the outskirts of Berlin and finished over a year later in a suburban terrace, Mount Olympus Is Empty is a brand new body of unperformed work by Elise Hadgraft. Influenced by half-remembered Greek mythology from her childhood, these pieces present a deeply personal insight into a mind struggling to rebuild itself after catastrophic collapse.'
The pain is still there in these poems, the swearing in semi-abeyance. But this feels like a much quieter probing of these noisy subjects – the imagery is so strong and replaces the sass with lines that stick without offending. Levels are delved, depths plummetted to, in words that possess a grissly beauty, rich enough to stand on and be lifted back up by. These poems can be read again and again, and each time more meaning is discovered, more feelings unearthed. These are not verses for a rowdy bar-room – they are for a library with the classics to hand, an empty lock-down semi with the mantle clock's ticking the only noise.
There are strong visual elements to these books too – Elise is an artist as well as a poet (don't let her tell you otherwise!). Both covers are her own work, and she wanted images to feature heavily within the book too. With that in mind, she invited ace finazine artist godisanewt to provide a fanzine to finish Now There Are No More Love Songs off nicely.
Elise has also provided her own excellent artwork for the inside pages of Mount Olympus Is Empty. This is a multi-facetted work on every level.
Lunesta (from Mount Olympus Is Empty)
Hypnos brings me
Bad dreams,
A sleepless symphony
Of discomforts, he
Rolls us over in
Sweat-drenched sheets.
Our borrowed bed
With each movement,
I will you would
Stay still…
But we, a dishabille of
Ill-fitting limbs,
Lie restless.
Come morning,
I will forget this.
Leah Atherton
Leah Atherton is a linguist, poet and runner based in Birmingham, UK. She had poems about her adventures featured by iRunFar and Porridge magazines and Brum Radio Poets. Elsewhere, her work has appeared in Birmingham Art Gallery and on BBC Radio WM, and was included as part of the Beatfreeks Collective anniversary anthology, Wild Dreams and Louder Voices (2018, Verve Poetry Press)
She believes in strong coffee, campfire whisky and the power of muddy shoes.
A sky the colour of hope is the debut full collections from this incredible cross-country poet who writes as she runs – wonderfully.
Part memory box, part prayer, a sky the colour of hope charts the journey of a young woman navigating loss in its many faces, as she learns to choose her own road. Heavily inspired by her 2018 solo fastpack of the South West Coast Path in memory of her father, this collection is by turns light and aching, bitter and joyful as she moves through landscapes forever changed by the people she met along the way. A truly wonderful collection.
You can read Leah's poem there is only one constant which was featured in the wonderful Porridge Magazine, HERE
Let's dance, you and me.
Leave the straight lines and the rules in the parking lot
and dare the wind to play catch up.
We'll barrel our way down root-choked paths
and take corners too tight for our talent;
slog up climbs like we're chasing redemption on every hilltop
And swear we find hope along every single-track we follow
where unanswered prayers make voltage pylons of our bones
and our legs start to buzz with the pent up wire and static.
Let's fly into the wind until the rain makes our faces numb
and we will laugh and let the ice melt baptise the wrong out of our pasts
write our penance in mud track and shale
We'll scrape ourselves raw and scoop ourselves out;
turn valleys into confessionals, thermos tea into communion wine
and make jack-o-lanterns of our haunted hearts to light our return.
You and I know that a house of healing
doesn't need four walls or a roof when you have your feet in the cloud,
this thorn-scrape-peat-stain-hunt-grin cathedral of shadows and light
Come on let's stand, you and me, on the shoulders of giants,
leave behind pieces of questions beat out on hillsides
so far apart only God can read them without skipping a line
Recited out by stubborn feet and tempest wills
we'll follow the music over moor and fell, read answers in contours;
code-lines so far apart maybe God was the one who left them there
Let's dance to the rhythm and drum and the reckless reels
of a landscape that sings to us in a language unwritten
until maybe, at last, we can follow the wild song back.
Let's run.
Jemima Hughes
Jemima Hughes is a multi-slam winning performance poet who hurried on to the Birmingham poetry scene in March 2018, and swiftly hurried off again after showcasing five minutes of her ongoing mental health battle.
Previously an international trampo-linist and coach, Jemima strove to always support her participants emotionally as much as competitively. As reality hit that she was in need of support herself, she stepped away from her sport and lifelong passion to focus on her mental health. During her most conflicted days, she turned to writing poetry to express herself at a time when her verbal commun-ication was minimal, consequently finding a new passion. These days, Jemima has found her voice again,
mastered timing and rhythm, and has travelled across the UK and Ireland to headline multiple spoken word events. She now hopes that reading this book will help others in some of the ways that writing it has helped her.
Due out in July 2020, Unorthodox is Jemima's lond awatied debut collection. As a perfomer she has been compared to a tornado – her words lifting you, spinning you around, her rhymes connecting with each other across space and heightened emotion. The lively poems in this work move you in similar ways, as Jemima leads you into a whirlwind of love and heartache, where struggle and abuse and paralyzing mental health issues are foreces to be reckoned with, subside momentarily, only to rise again. We are thrilled to have been able to pin these words down long enough to be consumed.
Unorthodox truly is a remarkable and powerful book of poems.
"Jemima is a tour de force when it comes to spoken word poetry. She pulls no punches and is brutal yet beautiful in equal measure. Now she's brought her work to the page. Treat yourselves. Read this collection and catch her live if you can." – Giovanni "Spoz" Esposito.
"Storm Jemima is a surge of intensity gathering on your horizon. It is a tumbling of sentiments and sincerity of message, getting harder to ignore, always ready to drop. Nothing looks quite the same after it hits." – Jasmine Gardosi.
"One of the most extraordinarily talented performers I have had the pleasure of seeing." – Clive Oseman.
You were created in this universe and you want to fit in?
Brewed in the heart of an explosion. Stardust.
A potential five hundred million planets
capable of supporting life, and we can't all support each other on one.
A single quality (and I do mean quality) receives hate,
when 99.9% of species are already gone.
You are a black body.
A star,
absorbing all radiant energy,
emitting much more by far.
They believe they are the Sun,
which is to say, you are bigger and brighter.
The human eye factors in surrounding colours, so the appearance is whiter,
but the Sun is a green star.
A jealous ball of raging fire.
Your light breaks through turbulent atmosphere
illuminating the way for others,
the twinkle in your eye reveals every deflection,
causing a change of intensity in your colours.
They move like the billions of lifeforms on their skin
feast on champagne and caviar,
swim in oceans accommodating two hundred thousand different viruses,
but won't gaze upon the beauty that you are.
Scared they're going to catch on,
catch themselves viewing rainbows in black and white.
Supernovas brought elements essential for survival,
and you are essential for this world to get survival right.
If someone looks at you like they want to fix you,
they will fall through the cracks,
not all star systems are binary,
and the cosmos exists naturally, it does not have to apologise for the way it acts.
Are you a galaxy?
With a black hole at the centre of you?
Black holes are very, very cold,
but galaxies will not be consumed.
Gravitational attraction pulls in matter,
this force works to ground you,
try to keep a stable orbit
until this force of nature is through.
One hundred and forty billion (or so) galaxies,
you're not alone in this gloom.
And you're about to be on fire
because when a flame is at its hottest, it appears blue.
13.8 billion years old
and getting more interesting by the day,
your age adds to your wonder,
it doesn't take your worth away.
A teaspoon of neutron star weighs
about ten million tonnes,
and your weight, or size,
doesn't dictate your levels of attraction.
More than twenty-four time zones means
you and your anxiety made it on time,
when you look into the starry sky you're looking deep into the past,
so your punctuality after sunset is sublime.
Outer space is open to interpretation
and your silence is of tremendous value,
needing spectacles doesn't make you a spectacle
when 95% of the universe is still out of view.
Survival on Earth is unnecessarily difficult,
and lives are so good at ruining lives,
but if we judge those who judge us we resolve nothing,
accepting our self is how we survive.
You see, you stand out against the back drop of this universe,
and almost all ordinary matter is empty space,
if someone struck a match on the moon, astronomers could spot the flame,
the right people will see you and your qualities will be embraced.
Finding flaws in someone else doesn't make our own less visible,
throwing shade won't change the shade of someone's skin,
if you touch two pieces of the same type of metal together
in the vacuum of space, they will fuse.
And rainbows have always created a happiness within.
The static of a retro television
displays the Big Bang afterglow,
we won't always have the correct channel of thought,
but the reason is bigger than we know.
The Sun rages, but it can still bring warmth and light,
and space has enough space for us all to progress.
At the bare bones of it we are all the same,
and if we are all simply dust, shouldn't we clean up our mess?
From We've Done Nothing Wrong. We've Nothing to Hide: The Verve Anthology of Diversity Poems. Selected and Introduced by Andrew McMillan
Genevieve Carver
'I've got really used to performing with the band, so now I find it quite nerve-wracking when they are not there!' Genevieve Carver talks poetry, develop-ment and what it's like writing for her band, The Unsung.
Following on from a storming launch at Verve Poetry Festival in February, which everyone agreed blew the audience away, Genevieve Carver and her band, The Unsung, had to cancel most of the planned tour of their incredible poetry show, A Beautiful Way to be Crazy. The tour will be back, and when it is you should definitely see it, but in the mean time, we asked Genevieve to describe it to us and to explain how it fits together with both her solo performance and page poetry.
It seems a complicated move for a poet to form a band to create a poetry show. What made you want to follow this route?
This is the second show I've made with multi-instrumentalist band The Unsung (Ruth Nicholson, Tim Knowles and Brian Bestall). Our first show (confusingly titled The Unsung) was all about people whose deaths were caused by music – I've always been fascinated by the power of music, both dark and light.
With both our first show and A Beautiful Way to be Crazy, it made sense to work with live music firstly because of the subject matter, but also because I'm a big believer in bringing poetry to new audiences, and I think music gives people a 'way in'. Plus, the sound and rhythm of words has always played a big part in my writing, and I tend to see poetry as a kind of music written with words anyway.
It is an extremely enjoyable but also a moving show. What were the key messages you were trying to communicate?
The show explores female experiences in the music industry, but also covers broader themes to do with gender, mental health and confidence.
Women make up just 30% of the music industry as a whole, and as little as 2% in certain, usually more tech-heavy roles. At the time I started researching this as an issue, I was also was starting to realise a lot of things about my own journey into performing – the confidence I lacked as a younger woman, the way I always felt the need to apologise for taking up space in the world. I think gender stereotypes are something you can go a long time without seeing, but once you see them, they won't leave you alone, so I delved further and further in, talking to more and more people about their experiences.
I ended up interviewing almost 50 female and non-binary music practitioners including singers, instrumentalists, sound engineers, producers and events promoters and covering genres from classical to folk, electronica, rock, pop and jazz. I interviewed performers in a sex workers' opera, internationally touring DJs and members of an all-female band of adults with learning difficulties. The Unsung has always been about bringing to the fore the stories of people who otherwise wouldn't be heard, so it felt right to talk about my own experiences alongside a diverse range of other voices.
There are some other poems in your book of the show for A Beautiful Way to be Crazy that come from an earlier time when you were tending to work as a solo poet. How did you get into poetry, and how has your career progressed over time?
When I was about twelve years old a school friend came over and saw The Penguin Book of English Verse by my bedside. 'You're not actually reading that for fun are you?' she said, and from then on I thought a love of poetry was something you were supposed to keep secret.
I wrote bits in my bedroom through uni, but only really got into it when I moved to Sheffield after I graduated. I was really lucky in finding a buzzing spoken word scene here, and started doing my first open mics in about 2011, when I was 25. I was working full time as an archaeologist then, but was doing more and more writing and performing, and starting to get booked locally for featured slots.
In my late 20s I had a bit of a nervous breakdown, which I won't go into, but it led to me quitting my archaeology
job. I started working part-time in a café and doing as much poetry as I could in between, including forming The Unsung in 2016, getting a few poems published in journals and magazines, and beginning to tour further afield. Over time I've been able to shift more and more of my focus and income to writing and performing, and am now fully self-employed. I've had some great opportunities recently, including being apprentice poet in residence at Ilkley Literature Festival, working in a writer's room on a new drama series for Sky TV, collaborating with a movement artist a new piece for stage, and of course the publication of my first collection by Verve Poetry Press.
Has your poetry had to adapt itself to the work you are doing with The Unsung? It feels like quite a different beast to your previous solo poetry work.
I write differently if I'm writing for the band than say, if I'm writing what you might call a 'page poem'. The poems I write for The Unsung tend to be more immediately accessible and rhythmical, so their meaning isn't lost amongst everything else going on. I work very closely with the band to make sure the words and music are complementing rather than competing with each other, so that my voice and the voices of the other instruments are all working together to tell a story.
I've got really used to performing with the band, so now I find it quite nerve-wracking when they are not there! You forget how exposing it is when it's just you up there, so I guess I've got a new-found respect for that.

Incredibly Hurtz is Jasmine Gardosi's first foray into print. It is also a labour of love. A single poem, performable, readable on the subject of sound, colour and individual pain (physical but also and most notably emotional).
Jasmine's incredible piece helps launch our new Verve Poetry Pamphlet series – 'Pamphlet of Words' – in which Spoken Word Poets of note explore the variety of ways performance pieces can be aimed resolutely at the page and yet still fly in performance.
'What emerges in these pages is the range and ambition of her poetry across a full sequence – shot through [as it is] with a compassion, concern and attention which is never less than moving.' – Luke Kennard

Natural phenomena
Are you watching a dazzling sunset
or your heart sink over the horizon?
Is that a rainbow
or your regret bending over the sky?
Is it a foggy morning
or can you not see through your grief today?
Are you taking a photo of the northern lights
or is that your loneliness writhing overhead?
Is it really an overcast day
or is that just your self-loathing blocking the sun?
Walk into it.
Ben Norris
Ben Norris is a poet, playwright and actor. He is two-time national poetry champion – 2017 BBC Poetry Slam and 2013 UK All-Stars Poetry Slam – and has appeared everywhere from Latitude Festival to the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall. His debut solo show. 'The Htichhikers' Guide to the Family' won the IdeasTap Underbelly Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival before touring the UK and Australia, and his first short film, commissioned by Channel 4, was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award. He is currently developing a new show about elite sport, 'The Distance'.
Ben is from Nottingham and is currently poet-in-residence for Nottinghamshire Libraries, and a Creative Associate at Nottingham Playhouse. He also plays Ben Archer in 'The Archers' on BBC Radio Four.
Catalysed by the end of a complex polyamorous relationship played out on opposite sides of the world, some ending sees Norris revisit his parents' earlier separation and uncover a grief he'd forbidden himself at the time.
These poems look unflinchingly at heartbreak and find it everywhere – in protracted attempts to untangle two lives and the people caught in the cross-fire, in the messy deaths of loved ones, and in the tragedy of men unable to express themselves; this is a pamphlet about endings of all kinds, how they intersect, and how we reconfigure ourselves in the wake of them. But there is love, hope, and forgiveness here too. All endings have the seeds of new beginnings in them, and as Norris's poems unfurl, this becomes as much a eulogy to new-found friendship and self-love as it is an eloquent dissection of loss.
some ending is Ben Norris' second pamphlet.
'These poems are raw, fresh, and fluent, without a cliché or slack moment in sight. Norris conveys not only a sense of himself, but himself as someone on whom nothing is lost. Interesting, smart, sensitive, witty. He's the real deal.' – COLM TÓIBÍN
'These are moving, witty, and beautifully-crafted poems which are never complacent, never letting us stay on the surface.' – ANDREW MCMILLAN
Jonathan Davidson in Under The Radar
Louise Essex in Cardiff Review
"So was the writing and the living": Ben Norris' Some Ending
a plenary question for victorian medical practitioners and their ancient
predecessors concerning the role of the organs and humours in the governance of feeling
tell me who decided that the heart is where love lives?
I have sent fifty beating red emojis this week
to friends in distress and people I want
to say thank you to people I am missing
people I missed a new friend is listening to silences
differently an old friend is helping her I feel a displacement
tell me where is the small intestines emoji I can't very well
send you the little poo and expect you to know what I mean
where is the insomnia emoji the glowing yellow
person staring into a fridge not hungry just empty
you have given us this new language but
no language to talk about it tell me
what is the emoji for safety what is the emoji for
thank you: I didn't know how to say any of this before
Ali Lewis
'My poems were very bad for ages…' Ali Lewis explains his relatively slow move towards publishing his first pamphlet – Hotel, out now with Verve Poetry Press
The launch of Ali Lewis's incredible debut pamphlet, Hotel, due at Foyles in Charing Cross Road on March 18th, was postponed along with so many other events this Spring. So we wanted to ask Ali some of the questions he might have answered at his launch – what kind of poet he is trying to be, what his influences are, and why it has taken him SO long to find his way to producing his debut pamphlet. After all, it truly has been worth the wait – or as Kathryn Maris has said, 'Implausibly excellent, Hotel marks the debut of an exceptional new talent.'
Ali, you write about such varied subjects! Do you think there's an underlying theme or question linking all of the poems in this pamphlet?
There are definitely a lot of subjects in the pamphlet, yes. Knife-throwing, waterslides, the heat death of the universe, diamond cutting, how bad people were at sports before not smoking was invented. And, of course, the poems are all also about love, time, loss, et cetera. — but every text, whether it means to or not, tells you about those things.
Between those two poles of specificity, I'm interested in power relationships, which is to say all relationships. I'm interested in the unexpected and untraceable ways we do harm when we're trying not to, or at least not trying to (what economists might call the 'negative externalities') — in how we manage to hurt and help each other through both our attention and our inattention.
One aspect of this, which comes up repeatedly, is the almost inherent tension between the two useful things men can do at the moment: speaking up and shutting up; acting and getting out of the way. Obviously this is a contradiction I've not solved, hence there are poems, like 'The Englishman', which are critiques of the many horrible ways we as men behave, but there are also poems like 'Wild Fig', in which the speakers actively try to background themselves and centre the experience of a more important other.
Something which, of course, is impossible, while you're the one speaking.
As well as the variety of subjects, there's also a variety of form and voices…
Yes, I think this probably relates to the influence of other writers. I'm fascinated with the way poems talk with each other, and with ideas from elsewhere, so if, on a particular day, I'm writing differently, it's probably because I'm reading differently.
I'm actually about to teach a course at the Poetry School on influence and taking inspiration from other writers. Karen McCarthy Woolf, who I was thrilled to get a cover quote from, is a master at this, weaving together ideas and voices, most obviously in her couplings. Bridget Minamore's 'zadie smith's first novel is' is another poem that does this amazingly. It's probably the poem I give out at workshops most often.
I don't have a coupling in Hotel, but there's a glosa and a poem-beginning-with-a-line-by. Kay Ryan, whose quatrain I quote in that glosa, is a writer who's been particularly important to me. Her ear — her facility with what she calls recombinant rhyme — is amazing. I hope there's some of her influence visible in my shorter lyrics.
Often I can pinpoint the exact poem or poet I was reading when I wrote a particular piece of my own. 'Making Love to the Knife Thrower', for example, I wrote the same day I read Abigail Parry's Jinx. I was reading Jane Hirshfield when I wrote 'Sonnet'; Alex Bell when I wrote 'The Englishman'; Kathryn Maris when I wrote 'Test Scenario'. She's probably been my most important influence, through both her work and her teaching.
Your work is widely published and it also strikes me as being popular and accessible for non-poets. This feels like a real skill to have struck and maybe quite a rare one. Are you aware of finding this balance when you write or is it incidental?
That's kind of you to say. It is something I work on, yes. I view the poems I write and read primarily as a method of communication. An attempt to get across some idea, or situation, or state of mind, or to receive one, even if it's not the same one that was sent.
I don't necessarily mean that I want my poems or anyone else's to be 'simple' or parsable into plain prose. So much of what a poem is is what's not translatable (I don't say 'reducible') to prose. I only mean that I want the ones I show to other people to be thoughtful of them as readers.
You've waited a relatively long time before bringing out your first pamphlet. Were you waiting for the right set of poems to assemble as opposed to simply knowing you had enough 'good ones' to fill a pamphlet?
Mostly it took so long because my poems were very bad for ages and nobody sensible wanted to publish them. (I don't say this to be performatively modest. Loads of even really amazing writers have written truly dreadful poems, and every time I find one it's an enormous comfort to me).
I'm embarrassed looking back at some of the poems I shopped around in the past — and thankful to the editors who didn't accept them — but I try to tell myself that this shame is evidence of my continuing growth, rather than of my enduring terribleness revealed by the clarity of hindsight.
Perhaps I'll also feel embarrassed about the poems in Hotel in a few years, but I hope not, because the real answer to your question is that I waited for poems that still felt right to me even after a few months or years had passed. Ones that had a bit of staying power.
Getting to that point, both in terms of the poems themselves and my own confidence in them, owes in the most part to help from some wonderful teachers and organisations: Maura Dooley at Goldsmiths, Kathryn Maris, who I've mentioned, the Poetry School, TOAST Poets, Cove Park, and Verve. They're all great.
Of course, by my own logic, feeling good about the poems in Hotel means I've stopped growing as a person. I guess you can't have it both ways.
What's next for you, following the launch of Hotel? Should we cross our fingers for a full collection from you any time soon?
I particularly love pamphlets, so I'm in no rush to bring out a full collection. Right now, I'm working on a pamphlet called Since We Last. There'll be a sequence of 'Since' poems and a sequence of 'We' poems and a sequence of 'Last' poems, and they'll all be very sad and about love.
Plus, we'll be trying to set up a launch for Hotel once it's safe to do so!
Clive Birnie
Clive Birnie is a poet and artist who works in both text and visual media. He finds inspiration at a place where poetry and art collide into something which gets called text-based-art but sometimes he types up the results as text only poems such as those included in his wonderful Verve Poetry Press pamphlet Palimpsest. Clive is also owner and editor in chief at Burning Eye Books.
He was the Hashtag# poet in residence at the StAnza International Poetry Festival in 2016, has exhibited work at the Saatchi backed The Other Art Fair, the Evolver Prize Exhibition, at Spike Island and in Millennium Square, Bristol. Palimpsest is the fourth in a series of experimental poetry sequences following Terminal Insemination Art (Silkworms Ink 2011), Cutting Up the Economist (Burning Eye 2014) and Hashtag# Poetry (Burning Eye 2016).
Clive's pamphlet Palimpsest explores a near future where the banal merges with the bizarre, truth and fiction blur and digital and analogue collide. These are poems that are made rather than written in the conventional sense.
Poems that are built from scraps of text appropriated from magazines, junk mail, ephemera; erased, redacted, cut up and overwritten with original lines to create palimpsests. The title is thus both a creative technique revealed in the visible lines of construction and an eponymous anti-superhero in whose steps we follow as she emerges from a collage of fractured narratives and cinematic dispatches from a dark and murderous hinterland. This is a truly exceptional piece of work and well worth investigating.
Roxy Dunn
'I confess I draw on my own life a lot.' Roxy Dunn answers questions (and makes confessions) about her new Verve Poetry Press pamphlet Big Sexy Lunch.
In the wake of the publication of Roxy Dunn's wonderful new pamphlet Big Sexy Lunch and to an extent in lieu of the postponed launch that was originally planned for March 18th at Foyles on Charing Cross Road, I thought it would be a good idea to talk to Roxy about what kind of poet she is trying to be and what kind of poems she is trying to write. She doesn't say this, but I will: she is a fresh and compelling new voice in contemporary poetry – modern and sharp, sassy, funny, but with an uncanny ability to disarm and move the reader at precisely the same time. (How does she do that?). Roxy has a big future in poetry. One look at her pamphlet will tell you why.
This is your second pamphlet, following 2017's Clowning which you published with Eyewear. What's changed in your writing since then?
Well, my initial response to this question (which sounds very basic as an answer!) is that my poems have become longer. (Clowning had a couple of four liners in it if I recall.) Expanding on an idea/pushing it further is something I've been actively focussing on. I also think this pamphlet is perhaps more cynical than my earlier work. Not in a bad way necessarily, hopefully just in an honest way.
As well as writing poetry, you've been in Babylon (Channel 4) and your Radio 4 comedy 'Joz and Roxy are Useless Millennials' has just come out. How do you think your work as a comedian and an actor interacts with your poetry?
I think I try to look for the humour in whatever it is I'm writing about. Not always, but you'll often find at least small examples of it in most of the poems in this pamphlet. I also think I have a sense of hearing the lines as I write them which probably comes from my being an actor and wanting not only to read and write poetry but my desire to speak it aloud.
Damon Albarn, Drake, Netflix, Socrates, Hedda Gabler, Virginia Woolf — so many of your poems mix pop culture and 'high culture'. How important do you think it is for poets to engage with the contemporary?
I actually think one of the pitfalls of my work is how contemporary it is. I remember another poet in a class of mine once very reasonably posing the question, 'will this poem last?' And it's a very valid point. It feels like maybe it's a trade off – that by writing in a way that people right now will immediately engage and relate to, you decrease the chances of that poem surviving beyond its immediate lifespan?
Frank O'Hara appears twice in the book. What do you think his influence is? Who or what else influences your work?
I really love his poems and he's definitely influenced the way I write in terms of showing me how conversational and direct the language in a poem can be. In terms of what else influences my writing, I confess I draw on my own life a lot (which feels like I'm now confessing a confession!) This isn't to say my poems are autobiographical but they all come from a place of having experienced either a similar situation, thought, or feeling to the one I'm writing about and then changing the specifics to fictionalise/poeticise it.
You have a sharp, breezy, very modern voice, so readers might miss the formal work going on, but there are Hannah Sullivan-esque couplets in 'Weeds', there's a subtle enclosed rhyme scheme in 'Sweet Casanova', there's even a glosa (a complex Spanish form of court poetry!). What's your relationship with form?
I'm delighted you've alerted readers to the 'formal work' in that case! It's definitely an aspect of poetry I feel less comfortable with but the Poetry School classes have been instrumental in alerting me to these forms/rhyme schemes you mention above. In fact, I remember Kathryn Maris introducing me to Hannah Sullivan's work in one of the classes I took there. [Verve Stablemate] Ali Lewis was in the same class! Small world!
I know it's sometimes hard to think forward when a pamphlet of yours has just been released – but do you see this is something that could lead to a collection some time in the not too distant future?
Ha, I feel so very far away from thinking about a collection! I'm still continuing to take classes and work on honing my skills as a poet. I feel like the stuff I'm writing at the moment is quite different to what I've previously written and I'm currently trying to push myself to be less literal when I write (which is a challenge for me!). I'd love to bring out a full collection at some point in the future but I'm not in any rush to. Right now my focus is on developing my craft, and also continuing with my other writing projects which aren't poetry related, but feed into my poetry nonetheless.

What is community? For a long time, it's been an overused buzzword to describe valuable groups of people that help businesses grow. In today's challenging times, many are seeing it and experiencing it in a different way, as humanity reconnects with each other and divides us at the same time.
As the definition of community continues to blur, Garage Academy sat down with Andee Chua, co-founder of Kampung Collective and James Bernardo, our Regional Programming Director, for a webinar to get their take on it.
Andee defines a community as a group of people coming together and supporting one another. To him, the importance of a community lies in establishing trust, creating a sense of belonging, forging relationships, and creating shared value.
For Andee, Kampung Collective is the vehicle which drives this thinking, providing the space for community builders to connect across different industries and verticals. It provides support to community builders through sharing best practices, challenges and new ways to improve and grow.
James sees community as the meaningful conversations and collective experiences shared between people who have similar beliefs and interests. It's something that has long been integral to Garage Society's identity with like-minded members sharing our values and purpose of creating success within our community.
So, how do go about building a community? Whether you're a business or you're simply looking to share your passion with others, we have curated 3 tips from our webinar plus some additional thoughts, to start you on your community-building journey.
What to consider before you build a community
Begin by asking yourself two critical questions:
Why do you want to build your community?
Who will be part of your community?
Whether you're looking to build an audience around your brand or engage with like-minded individuals on a specific topic, identifying the goals for your community at an early stage allows you to set a solid foundation from which to grow. Regardless of what your objectives are, building a community involves planning to guide you in achieving your goals.
An interesting approach is the community engagement cycle, a concept introduced by CMX, a home for community professionals. It consists of four stages you should keep in mind while building your community:
This means that a community member's identity aligns with the identity of the community. They trust the community and its members and actively participate, and feel rewarded for being a part of that community. If members meet these criteria, you're on your way to managing an engaged and healthy community.
For a community to be actively adopted, people need to be passionate about a common purpose. From a business perspective, this means focusing on how you intend to change the world for the better, not your profits. These beliefs and hopes encourage people to connect with each other in the context of your brand's cause.
A good example of this is Harley Davidson, whose business hasn't always had a smooth ride. They adopted a community-centric positioning in order to reinforce the connection between them and their customers. By understanding bikers on their own terms, they united a "brotherhood" of riders through the philosophy of rebellion, to successfully turn their brand around.
Create Engaging Content
Content and community should work together, so speak to your community through thoughtful content that provides value will drive engagement.
A good starting point is knowing what your community wants and listening to pinpoint your community's interest. Communicate your message with powerful storytelling and visual imagery and you'll be able to effectively earn and grow a sticky community.
The Garage Way
At Garage Society, we are committed to empowering communities by bringing people, ideas and opportunities together. We do this by blending our 3 focus areas of people, programming and place all of which makes up our Community-Centric Approach.
