I saw Luke Kennard perform his ‘Wolf Shibboleth‘ (no 11 in the chapbook) at the London Word Festival where he shared the bill with Christian Bok. The wolf poem I think is a perfect jumble of entertainment and experiment.
Bok did his mind-bending DNA poem, and a bit of lego patent transformed into a passage of Democritus. Stunning conceptually, but what worked best in performance were his Hugo Ball renditions.
