Microtopias recording by Steven Hitchins published on 2014-03-01T10:07:52Z In October 2011 I started writing poems on my mobile phone because I found that it allowed me to write while walking through the streets. I wrote out a list of all the phone’s ringtones. There were 56. That gave me the durational structure of the sequence. The poems slotted in chronologically as they were written. When all the titles were used the sequence was finished. It took just over a year. I used my mobile phone to record myself reading the poems while walking through Pontypridd. My wife had the same phone, so I used that to record all of my phone’s ringtones while sitting on a bench outside the Vodafone shop. The performance was presented at In Other Words at the Bath Fringe Arts Festival on 1/6/13. Genre Poetry
