about

Part of the Soundscape Poetry Project Album.

Urn is the opposite of Labyrinth but the same. It’s starting point was working with car obsessed lads in HMYOI Werrington in Staffordshire. There was a documentary on one night about hatchback carpark meets and the young folks who customised and filled them with gigantic stereos. It occurred to me that a decent proportion of disinterested parties would make no distinction between the hot hatch enthusiasts, who’d pour their hard-gotten cash into custom jobs, and my larcenous young shavers. From there it was an exercise in trying what it was like to be young and reckless and then, after seeing Perry’s pots onto Keats and a long and meticulous analysis of his structure. It took months where the other poem took minutes, but they’re both the same really.
