A book about developments in walking and walk-performance for enthusiasts, practitioners, students and academics. Phil Smith considers where things are at for walking (as art and as performance), psychogeography, and the use and abuse of public space.

Pomes is a collection of poetry thirty years in the making. Reflecting Smith's concerns with conceptual, experimental, post, and concrete writing, it is profoundly influenced by William Burroughs, John Cage, Gertrude Stein, and a host of other avant garde word artists. Here, he plays with a variety of styles and formats, trying to discover and outline the nature of discourse and communication. Deeply personal, at times autobiographical, his writing in these pieces looks at text, words, grammar, and syntax, exploring the very meaning of language itself.

Glossalalic. Postal. Echolalic. Anti-art. Offalic. Eliptical. Lucidic. These are some of the words Phil Smith uses to describe his writing. In this group of plays, he explores and deconstructs the meaning of theater, dramatic literature, and the intent of language itself. What do these plays mean? "They believe in themselves," he says. "And that's good enough."
