- At the central core of Fowler’s work is an ongoing collaborative poetry practice developed over five years through an extensive and often interdisciplinary process of joint composition and live performance. The practice questions traditional solitary and often narrow modes of writing and reading poetry by drawing on and extending practice and research into collective and ‘camarade’ models of creativity and performance in which groups of writers and artists, often from different cultural backgrounds, both make and perform works together. It aims to foster a new democracy of poetic form for the 21st century, one that is multidisciplinary and dialogic, creating transverse creative possibilities which cut across differences in gender, class, race, and national identity. The model has been taken up by poetry groups across Europe, the Baltic and Scandinavia and it has become, since 2016, an established practice at The European Poetry Festival. Nemeses forms a written archive that documents this practice and its creative impact. It brings together almost 300 pages of Fowler’s collaborative work with in forms that include poetry, fiction, film, visual art, photography, music, performance, and multidisciplinary creativities. These include work first created as part of the Arts Council funded project and tour Yes We Are Enemies, and performances given in London and Ireland. These collaborations represent the generative, playful, and innovative possibilities of collaborative art as disturbance both to existing modes of though and discrete generic boundaries. Fowler’s contribution with Max Porter, included in the book, was published in Poetry Magazine in 2019.
