Natasha Flaw (aka Natalie Shaw) features in Ink, Sweat & Tears, Antiphon, Butcher’s Dog and Prole, amongst others. She can also be found at http://natalieshawpoems.wordpress.com. ‘Object Waiting’ was written in response to Richard Osmond’s Open Workshop ‘Written in Juice of Lemon’, where students were challenged to write a poem designed to be published, broadcast or inscribed in an unconventional way, on an unconventional surface or through unconventional media.
Greta to see your poem here too! Really like it!
Thanks Ellie.
wow this is so original, beautiful work Natasha!
Thank you Vanessa – you are very lovely!
Hi Natalie. I was at the Butchers Dog launch and enjoyed your reading but didn’t get a chance to say hello. I’ve just joined Campus and was very interested to read your poem – one because I think its a clever and intriguing poem and also because I really like the idea of finding poetry in computer language – I wrote one called ‘How to write a Cobol program’ a few months ago. Maybe we have a new movement here!
Hi David – it was great to hear you at BD. I’d love to read your Cobol poem. I think you’re right – there’s some kind of poetry/code slam I will try and find a link for.

There seems to be a book as well — http://code-poems.com/ — but limited edition of 100.
Fascinating – thanks for the links. I should have realised I was only treading in others footsteps. I can see I rather wimped out by making most of my poem comment lines. It is available in Under the Radar Issue 13 (not online I’m afraid).
Serendipitous – have been meaning to subscribe and now I have! Very excited to read it when UTR13 arrives.
