poetorials
M O V I N G O V E R M I L L E N N I A
Poetorials are thematic bodies
of written, spoken & visual poetry.
A new world alchemy of poetic forms.
That offer a richly engaging
experience for the inner and
outer senses.
Each poetorial is composed, curated
and choreographed by Colin
as Poetorialist. For varied audiences,
settings and atmospheres.
From live and recorded performances
to exhibitions and publications.
Poetorializing places, events,
cultures, nature and other subjects.
In luminous, adventurous, revealing ways.
From those commissioned to those
self-generated.
