Rob Read's most recent work is a book of 'poams', poetry forged from junk email or spam, called O Spam, Poams (BookThug 2005). Also recently released is Atone Neither Overflowing Clause (with AEM, Produce [Section] Press 2005) - conjoined novellas in the shape of a guillotine. His past work includes visual poetry shaped like animals (Hieroglyphs, Expert Press, 2002) as well as poetry written while travelling, such as 18 Full English Breakfasts (Wood & Coal, 2004). He has also worked under cover of night as a part of the now defunt group Guerilla Poetry, and still sends our his Daily Treated Spam (of which his most recent book is a selection).
