Skirting Around
Magazine
Issue #4 Jan 2025
Coming soon!
Skirting Around is an online journal which examines the politics and emotions of women's clothing through creative writing and visual art - exploring how it can empower and endanger, enlighten and entrap, oppress and liberate.
I founded and created Skirting Around Magazine in 2021.
PopoGrou
Anthology
Kingston Press, 2024
This anthology showcases innovative poetry practice at the growing edge of contemporary literature. It gathers language, art, textual and visual poetry from nineteen active members of Popogrou - a worldwide collective emerging from writer and artist SJ Fowler's online Potential Poetries workshops programme, established during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown.​
Generous, inclusive, unconventional and celebratory, it is a volume that honours the fellowship of a distinctively creative and productive collective of writers and artists.

Cow takes a walk.Out of the barn, out of the farm, onto a residential street and comes across a city. Cow can't imagine. Cow can't imagine there's a place like this.

COW is a message to all customers. You want a piece of me? A trip to the supermarket will never be the same again.
Frubes
FLW Project
Jan 2022
One year into lockdown, artist run exhibition and publishing project Interview Room 11 initiated the Four Letter Word (FLW) project and invited artists and writers to respond to poverty, the climate crisis, and worldwide inequality that the pandemic had brought into sharper relief. A year later, FLW was turned into a series of four pamphlets each containing 24 texts/artworks by different writers and artists. My visual poem Frubes Glorious Frubes appears in GRUB. All proceeds from sales go in full to support the work of four charities that deal with the themes in the pamphlets: XR Glasgow, Living Rent, Empty Kitchens Full Hearts and The Autonomous Centre Edinburgh.

Seen As Read Anthology
Spring 2021
Seen as Read is an ambitious anthology of visual poetries that erases the line between viewer and reader. From stitches to typesetting, beeswax to periodic tables, handwritten abstraction to puzzling collages, this anthology amazes, amuses, and articulates ambiguity with a precision only visual poetry can. Emerging from a series of online programs run by SJ Fowler during the global lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, I was one of 40 poets across the world to be included in this fascinating collection.

The Chips are Down Here in Lockdown is a champion work of experimental poetry, pushing the limits of form, texture, subject, and space. It is gripping, lovable, heart-wrenchingly honest…. an absolute must read!
