I will be well welcome when I come.   
Because I am coming.
Certainly I come having come.

I am a poet living in Perth, Western Australia. I am using SoundCloud to upload covers of poems i love, recordings of my own work plus experimental sessions of spoken word generation, the parameters changing in each instance but all of the sonics contributing to my postgraduate research at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) where i am a doctoral candidate on scholarship. My research topic? I am exploring the processes of how spoken word and performance poetry is written, and how those processes change from the page to the stage, with consideration given to how a spontaneous poem performed on stage and then transcribed to the page would differ to a work written and then edited through performance... and the permutation in-between. The crux of this  research is a 1ne man show of spoken word material. Each of the major sectional poems from this work are being approached as micro-projects in which I collaborate with another artist, be they a fashion designer, illustrator, musician or composer. I'm even collaborating with models... or rather the sound of  models walking.
