yt communication wants you to be aware of the following: we have some books. these books are sassy and scrappy and will change your opinion on just about everything.

it is with great love and dull blades that we assemble our creatures; quick and dirty and with the strictest lack of attention and pretension to making glossy, polished, 'marketable' oeuvres. gritty yt. delinquent yt. yt that smokes in the toilets during poetry readings.

we also issue bulletins for your pleasure - slick little transmissions from the fingers of yt affiliates, smushed and slashed in the 'Worst Place to Live in Britain': the london borough of hackney. we love hackney. we're not too keen on cambridge. they've got some great poets but don't know how to make a decent breakfast.

it is in hackney that the exclusive yt salons take place. these are strictly invitation-only, but we will probably let you in if you really want to come. poems are performed and debated, plots are hatched, amaretto is slurped. yt production days work the same way, with the added feature of scissors and glue and rigorous assembly-line collectivity and loud punk rock music, comrades.we are planning public readings in the future, just as soon as we find a venue that is neither a poncy gallery or a phlegm-spattered tourist pub. these will be great. we will let you know.

meanwhile. you will want to get hold of these things:

BLACK WATER by sean bonney

fractured typescrats. the marsh as the centre of the city. all poets for immediate termination. the people of hackney enjoy the sunshine.

DIG OUBLIETTE by frances kruk

globular mess or scribbly. the oozy nasty drips. use your urine to type. dribble ink and squash the clot apparatus on paper.

SEIZE OISEAUX by derek beaulieu

dead birds are also alphabet. delicate and frightening death masks. cobbing-style vortices scan the detritus of the city's wildlife.

CUNTOMATIC by francis crot

toilet brush caper. quick cunt to the head. a frankfurt school penny-romance for the classically-trained scholar. to be read over a bad coffee at your local chain bookstore.

KILLIN' KITTENISH by sophie robinson

genius vampire lovestory. pretty bits all chopped-up. the secret codes of the charity shop bookshelf all splayed and made clear.

CLOBBER by frances kruk

pink and mean. no heart behind the ribs of the household agent. suburban objects also desire. have bloodthirst.

DOCUMENT by sean bonney

sex. divorce. suicide bombers. a blueprint for the future. first articulation of negative poetix. language poetry is obsolete.
