Aidan Andrew Dun is poet and composer, psychogeographer. His exploration of the mysteries of Kings Cross in the epic poem Vale Royal (launched at the Albert Hall, 1995) has caused a strong groundswell of interest in this zone of London. A second epic, Universal (launched City Lights, San Francisco, 2002) is set in India, the West Indies (where the poet was raised) and Morocco. McCool, a very recent verse-novel in nearly 300 rhyming sonnets, has its background in both London and Lebanon, the story of a love-triangle set against world-conflagration and 'the clash of civilizations'. The Uninhabitable City, a collection of short poems, appeared 2005; Salvia Divinorum, an alchemical text in four movements, 2007. AAD performs his work with the magical Czech pianist Lucie Rejchrtova. Grooves, impressionistic Satie-esque soundscapes support the words of a man who has been called a visionary, a Blakean messenger. AAD & LR have performed at the British Library, at the 'Fiery Tongues' poetry-festival in Amsterdam, in Prague and in Paris.
