Poetry Poppers!

Posted by Window at 15:28 . Sunday, 12 April 2009

In August 2007, we went to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and left a poetry popper anywhere we could find an empty surface. Poetry poppers work just like party poppers, only instead of streamers, you get a burst of glitter and a haiku.

We're certainly not finished with poetry poppers, and we intend to make and distribute many more in the future. Production is time consuming though and we will need to refine the process a bit before they can be truly successful. Watch this space!

Who are Window?

A few years ago, Dave Pickering and Jenny Adamthwaite needed a name for themselves when they created a multi media show for The Fresh Festival. They were sitting on the front porch naming things randomly and hoping one of them might seem vaguely appropriate. Window was the one that stuck.

The show, Two Colours of Toothpaste Mix in the Sink, had poetry at its heart. Its intention was to show the poetry in the mundane and to bring poetry to a wider audience. This has always been the intention of Window: to bring out the poetry in everyday life.

Since then, Window have created ‘poetry poppers’ and have produced two short story series for podcasting station Rethinkdaily. It has been a while since they worked on a joint venture but you can find links to their individual poetry sites at the top of the page.
