Birmingham Jazz Incarnation is a sequence of poems by Simon Turner, illustrated by Mark Andrew Webber.
What a feeling, when one escapes the musty
tomb-like bookshop atmosphere carrying a collection
of poetry under your arm, & barely stumbles three feet
before colliding with the gorgeous garish daylight: a crisp clean sky like a newly minted fiver,
no clouds, & blossoms exploding on every tree.

Drawing on the inventions of Oulipo, Simon Turner decomposes and recomposes one of his own poems in a variety of forms and styles throughout Birmingham Jazz Incarnation. The result is a hymn to the pleasures of music, reading, writing, and city life, humming with a joyous experimental energy.
With black-and-white linocut illustrations by Mark Andrew Webber.
