Rockdrill is a series of unusual new audio CDs commissioned by the Contemporary Poetics Research Centre at Birkbeck College, London, & produced by Colin Still and Birdie Hall of Optic Nerve.
    The series includes the work by British and American poets, and combines new and archival recordings. Each CD is remarkable for the scope and range of material included, and for the quality of production. This unique new sound library is scheduled to grow in directions suggested by the initial list.

Rockdrill 3: LEE HARWOOD The Chart Table

'I would very much like these poems to be heard as stories. Stories that are curious, that ask questions. At times they're a collage of stories or even a collage of fragments of stories - but still stories. There are poets whose emphasis is "look at that", not "look at me".'
