One is my ‘Ern Malley Suite’, my writing-through of the
collages one of the hoaxers made during the 1940s hoax in Australia. I make much play of the fact that 'Ern' was meant to have been born in Liverpool. It is due to re-appear as my
contribution to the EUOIA anthology in which I appear as a fictional poet (or
imaginary author).See here.

Robert Sheppard: Poems in Blazevox's 15th Anniversary Edition (for Ern Malley and Philip Jeck)
I’m pleased to say I have work in the latest Blazevox here.
This is the first time I have appeared in this long running webzine, and I’m
delighted to find I’m in the 15th anniversary edition. Read about
that here in a piece by editor Geoffrey Gatza.
The main link takes you to all the work, but my two
contributions are special (to me, anyway). Here.
The second is a piece I wrote for the musician Philip Jeck, 'Spectres of Breath'. It is a response to the strange language we find in music reviews. It is a
verbal vinyl album (sides A and B), it is in ‘tracks’, but it is NOT an attempted
approximation of Phil’s own music. See and hear material on Phil here. Or even here:
