Flavour your lunch break with literary voices. Pause the clatter of the daily grind to listen to one of the writers from an international cohort of festival artists describe what excites them and drives them in their creative practice.

From experimental poetry in music and video format, to podcasts about poetry, a digital magazine turned printed publication, and international collaborations around the planet, Elizabeth Torres is an avid creator who combines the various technologies and techniques at her reach to allow poetry to bloom without limits. There's a reason why she goes by the monicker Madam Neverstop, and in this conversation she explains the techniques, rotations and tricks that facilitate the endless production of cultural documentation and content.
