 New on The Hyperliterature Exchange for November 2006: a review of 'The Chicken Coup', 'Chopper Drop Out' and 'Underground Station' - three CDs of comedy, poetry and music from Mac Dunlop.
"One respect in which Dunlop differs from earlier performance poets, of course, is his use of new media... His interest in experimentation is apparent on these CDs, where he is constantly playing with sound-effects rather than just presenting us with straightforward recordings of his readings..."
The Hyperliterature Exchange is an online directory and review of new media literature for sale on the Web. More than 120 works are now listed. Please visit and browse at http://hyperex.co.uk .

And I enjoyed the description of "the wobbliness of these lines, the feeling that they are being made up on the spur of the moment and may be about to collapse into incoherence" ... my own performances as a poet always feel just like that!
