to hear what it sounds like

a dew drenched bullfinch

Dead Whale's Teeth

'Dead Whale's Teeth' - Paul Conneally

Dead Whale's Teeth is a shreadlines piece.

Shreadlines are created by the artist poet cutting up headlines from a particular publication and putting them into a bag.

Each line of a shreadline piece is written by the artist poet by randomly picking five pieces of cut up headlines from the bag then using three or more of them to construct a new line. Any not used are put back in the bag.

The shreadline process was devised by Paul Conneally in 2000 where he worked with members of the public walking through Loughborough Market to make Easy Mother Expletives.

Nos baisers d'adieu

our parting kiss

a mixture of salt

and sweet peppers

nos baisers d'adieu

un mélange de sel

et de piments doux

Some Saint's Day

some saint’s day
the smell of bread from
a closed-up bakery

Working From Memory

the public toilet 

has become a Pizza place

earlier still it was
the village ‘lock up’ 

a jail

older men

working from memory

that turn up looking 

for cottage lust make do now

with a Margherita
