About Text Size: larger | normal | smaller
Likestarlings is a place for talking in poems and pictures. We pair poets with poets and photographers with photographers. Each pair produces a sequence of new works responding in turn to one another. Our palaver blog goes beyond poetry and photography to discuss collaboration in theory and in practice in a wide range of places. Please take a look, and feel free to add comments, opinions and suggestions here. Read poems here, look at photographs here.

On this auspicious day* it gives me great pleasure to introduce four new writers to the site.

Jane Yeh and H.L.Hix are distinguished American poets living on either side of the Atlantic (Jane is based in London). Their conversation began with baseball and has moved swiftly onto airports and crossing the sea that separates the two poets.

Vidyan Ravinthiran and Jenny Holden are young English writers based in Oxford. In a first for the site, it is a pairing of poetry and prose. We’re excited to see how it works, and may pair more writers of different mediums in the future.

Many thanks to the writers for agreeing to join in. I look forward to seeing where the conversations take us.

There’s a new picture up in the chain between Ahmet Unver and Oliver Smith.

Stand by for the remaining two in this series, and some new photographers involved will be announced very soon.
