David Felix is an English visual poet who comes from a family of artists, magicians and tailors.
Born in Wales, UK, sometime during the last century, he was raised on oil paint, sleight of hand and Singer sewing machines.
For over fifty years David has been working with language in a visual way – a long history in paint and collage, in three dimensions, in galleries and festivals, publications, performances and video.
He now lives on the island of Funen, in southern Denmark.

Tamara Lakomy… Calvary (in the) Fields of Waste
Calvary
Fields of Waste
I am an author, and a poet, but I have never sought to publish my poetry before as it was deemed too dark and heavy, laden with a melancholy and metaphysical twist that most people could not relate to. I grew up in North Africa, a tribal Amazigh feminist girl in a repressive regime, witnessing many dark things that have scarred my memory. I grew up around the mystical marabouts and the witch doctors that ruled over the souls, I was exposed to a wilderness of spirit and bare human cruelty that the West seldom comprehends; radicalisation, jihad, organ trafficking and the likes.
