New Version of Sink on Amazon

The new version of Sink titled Sink Version II is online. We made changes to the first sink and will be uploading an edited version of Sink : Poetry from the Fireswamp in May 2024. The new version of the first book SINK replaces all of the poems with a poem collage. The poems are in Sink Version II which will be the only book with the original poems. The series is now:

Sink: poems from the fireswamp (Being edited to be just artwork) Still online with unedited draft poems.

Sink Version II poems from the fireswamp, a book that has the edited poems and artwork.

Artist Note:

We kept the first book cover and are changing the interior of the book because of some information we read on amazon about editing the interior means we can change the content as long as their is not a drastic change in page number.

The artist Storey Tarris UK and writer Emmy Horstkamp, agreed that since the second version has all of the poems, they could make the first version just artwork using the words from the editing draft. This is an example of what the collages look like:

Collage by Storey Tarris UK of Emmy Horstkamp’s edited words

The collage above was created on April 26, 2024. It is a collage of Emmy Horstkamp’s words and the collage from the day before created by Storey Tarris UK. Storey has two versions of the collages which incorporated not only the book artwork but artwork from the day that She is experiencing when making the collage.

Storey decided to create the collages in this way which requires a timeframe of 8 weeks to make the collages which delays the art edit of the Sink the first book. We will be using the same cover, the only change is in the content of the inside.

The series of collages are called, Collage (day photo and one page of edited work) and The Day After (The collage from the day before and the collage from that day collaged together.). The two collage series will be used inside the red book cover showing train doors. The book of poetry with words is inside the train platform cover.

We will be adding this warning to Amazon so you know for sure when we make the change to the book.

Project Update April 2024

We made some changes in April to our book series so we are editing SINK. 

While editing book II, working title RAGs,  we realised we forgot to do the word count on the poems in book I.

After checking the word count for each poem, we decided to take out the full stops and with the full stops some capital letters and font sizes that were too small or too big.

The images for book one stay the same, but we are moving some pages around and may add one or two images. 

We are keeping the books in A4 format.

March 11 / 2024  Mallords

Storey Tarris Commuter Series March 11, 2024
It's not funny. They watch the mallord walk the railroad rails and sit down to nest.

They talk and watch and feel like they lived life standing still.

"Wait until their dead,"That is their way of life hiding behind the CCTV.

Ravens, let them know that zapping will get them killed. Why did you ignore her this morning as she sat in the danger zone.

Guests, Never Listed / March 7 / 2024

Morning alone on the line
Ringing Zip Zip Zip Zap
Impossible Woman's life
means I mean something.
Excuses scrubbed history,
Starched and pressed thursday 
creased down the middle.

The Other Way / March 5 / 2024

Immobile clouds hovering,
other way to the channel train.
Rain falling gently,
needing a rest station stop.
Waiting and calling a day,
silhouettes drawn up, covered up, cut out Tuesday.

Out in the Crowd / March 4 / 2024

Out in the crowd - Look, take a chance, go.
Moments passing, life alarms and black birds overhead.
A mist rising, doors closing, sun beams relaying.
Monday started.
Evaporating with morning, spring arrives
Year's week nine.
