A Slim Volume of Found Poetry

All through the first leg of the tour people were asking me if there was going to be a book of Found Poetry. It seemed foolish not to make one available.

It's only available at the live shows for now.


EDIT
just to add... the initial picture only really shows you that it exists. I've had questions from folks wanting to know how slim it is and which poems are in it. So I thought it was probably worth adding this picture of the contents page:

When will it be available for people who can't make your show?

Dave Gorman said...

I don't know if it will. We'll see.

Came to see you at The Playhouse in Norwich last September - this wasn't available then! I see you're coming back in, when is it, April? Does this mean I'm coming to have to come again? (At least as far as the foyer...)

Saw your show twice last year, would have loved a copy of this! Please make it available for us :)

Eight days and I can get my copy. I just love the one with the paint colours. I hope that's in there.

Dave, I was thinking the other day that you should do something like this. I need this book in my life. Please make it available somewhere other than your shows cause I've already been. I realise this message is going to be part of a long boring chain of similar thoughts.

Hi,

Yeah to jump in early with the similar posts this wasn't available when i came to see you in Cambridge. Loved the show and thorouhly enjoy found poetry, would be a shame if those fans who saw you before this was available were to miss out.

Go on Mr Gorman, make it so. :-)

Cheers

That's a thing of beauty right there.

And yar boo sucks to those ungrateful sorts saying "yer but when I saw you in the past when this thing didn't exist I didn't get one. All the happiness I had for this thing existing has been COMPLETELY NEGATED by my inability to have it."

Tsk.

But Daaaaave...

What if we already when to your tour when it was on the first time (ya know...hard core fans as opposed to these jump-on-the-band-wagon fans);)

I reeeally want it!

Alex said...

Oh bugger, if I'd known you had those I would have picked one up last night. If it ever becomes avalible by any other means I'll be sure to pick up a copy straight away.

Rob said...

Kindle it up, please, Monsieur Gorman!

@Anthony: I'm assuming from your "8 days" comment that you're in Australia... unfortunately I don't think it will be available when I come to Melbourne. It's just not that easy to bring this sort of thing over in quantity.

As to everyone asking if it'll be available through other means... I'll investigate but I can't promise. I can't do anything about it not having been available before it existed!

I think that I would prefer some sort of compilation of the readings on the radio as it isn't just the words that make me smile but the reading and the music as a whole package. Perhaps a podcast, edited from the other podcasts would be a possibility.

Just to let folks know that the booklet is now available via the shop page of my site.
