About Hearing Eye
Hearing Eye is a small independent press established in 1987. One of their distinctive features is that they have kept all their books in print, a policy now abandoned by most publishing houses. The team also work very closely with the individual authors on both the production and the presentation of their work.
In recent years, Hearing Eye Pamphlets – Songs from the Flats by Anna Robinson and The Beating of Wings by Linda Black have been selected as Poetry Book Society Pamphlet recommendations.
As well as all this printing, the Torriano Meeting House in north London is also home to a thousand poetry readings. The House is currently celebrating twenty-five years of survival by putting three visual artists in residence. Mindful of ever-impending threats to funding, Zuzana Piponi is preparing to cut the Hearing Eye stock to pieces, by “interventions with books and pamphlets...using scalpels, scissors and glue to reconfigure the form of words into subtle objects”. Another artist, Ruth Breckell, “will use knitting and felting techniques to respond to the poetry of John Rety”, co-founder of Torriano. The third resident, Natasha Gomperts promises only to draw portraits of poets!
