Alistair Noon

Alistair Noon's poems have been called restless, engaging, hilarious, mysterious, affecting, gloomy, disruptive, dusty and intriguing. In the early nineties he co-edited a Berlin-based poetry magazine called Symtex and Grimmer and has had poems published in numerous magazines, anthologies and as a chapbook (Ground Detail, with Leo Mellor, Berlin 2002). His first proper collection, Propaganda Window, is currently looking for a publisher. He has read at international festivals in Germany, France, Switzerland and the UK, and been heckled off stage for performing his bizarre sound poems by a Frenchman with a potato installation. "He's good, no question." (taz, German national daily).
