The second book in the Poetics Series, founded and edited by Keren Cytter and Fiona Bryson, once again combines poetry and literature with the visual arts as a challenge to the boundaries of traditional forms of the narrative. In this new release the title, Peacocks with Hiccups, is taken from a poem by Berlin-based performance artist Karl Holmqvist. The three word contributors are American poet Catherine Wagner, the emerging Spanish writer Luna Miguel and performance artist Karl Holmquvist. The whimsical line drawings, by artist Koo Jeong-A, flow seamlessly through the three texts. The Poetic Series, slender in design and immediately identified by its artist-designed covers, makes a point to feature cutting-edge poetry and writings that reach across artistic disciplines to explore and provoke new and unusual experiences of narrative.
