New web magazine for poetry and art
InPrint founder member Rupert Mallin, who is now working independently, has just published the first edition of textVISUAL, an online magazine of texts and visuals, occasionally overlapping and melting into each other.
Among other distinguished names featured are three members of InPrint – artist Mike Fenton and poets Lisa D'Onofrio and Tim Lenton – as well as work from Rupert himself.
He intends to publish textVISUAL three times a year, in June, October and February. He adds: "However, there will be an ‘organic’ element within each four-month period of ‘publication,’ so I hope each issue will be worth returning to between issues."
The magazine can be found here.
More pictures from Paston
A selection of photographs taken at the two most recent workshops at The Barn, Dayspring. At the first, on May 11, Annette Rolston was leading with Rupert Mallin; at the second, on May 31, she was in charge of the artists while Caroline Gilfillan was with the writers. Some high quality work is being produced, and the prospects for the planned book and exhibition are excellent. However, a great deal remains to be done.
Appetite for poetry
Tim Lenton and Rupert Mallin joined forces again last week in Colchester, where they did a well-received joint reading as part of an evening in aid of Lepra, the leprosy relief agency. This was in Appetite, a cafe on Church Walk which has a growing reputation for entertainment. Music was a big feature of the evening, put on my Jason McLean.
Rupert steps down
Rupert Mallin, who has been the driving force of the group since its inception five years ago, has decided to step down from InPrint to pursue his own work. He will retain close links to the group and will be working with us on occasion. He is already committed to one of the Paston Project workshops, in which InPrint has a key role.
Rupert is a very talented performance poet who is also a visual artist. His enthusiasm, hard work and friendship have been strong motivators for the group in the work that has been done, especially connected with the poetry vending machine, where he produced some exceptional boxes with Tonia Jillings, who is also stepping down. They will be missed.
InPrint, however, goes on. We are now a looser collaborative group with much the same aims and looking forward to creating unique work together. At present our concentration is on the Paston Project, which launched on February 2 with a Latin Compline at Paston Church and some memorable mulled wine and food. Quite a striking experience in a remote, candlelit church. Date for your diaries is the Open Day on March 22.
