Leah Fritz is an American feminist poet and author. Although she was born in the United States, Fritz has been active in England since she moved here in 1985.

Here are poems for Howard, her late husband of 62 years; remembrance of literary and political lives; imagined musings of an undrowned Shelley; thoughts on Ozymandias and other dictators; and sharp philosophical unpicking of relationships with poetry and psychoanalysis.

Politics of Print
This set of prints spans 20 years with their roots in my involvement with direct action against the first Gulf War. They come from practical political action intertwined with the practical work of cutting and scratching and inking of surfaces. Printmaking has always been the art form that belongs to political movements: images that need to communicate strong thoughts and feelings; images that can be reproduced quickly and easily; images that can assert again and again that we think through pictures when we are reaching for humanity and poetry. Controlling the printing press is like controlling the megaphone.

St Leonards Edgelands

‘St Leonards Edgelands’ is a print installation, part of Point of Decay, made for the launch event of Coastal Currents Arts Festival in Bottle Alley, St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex, curated by Zeroh.

Bottle Alley runs along the southernmost edge of St Leonards and has decayed physically and socially since it was built in the 1930s. The images of caryatids and incident tape tie the coastal edge of the town to its northern edgeland, Hollington Valley nature reserve, which has been until a couple of months ago a home to animal, plant and human populations. Now it has been felled to make way for a road, two roundabouts and industrial estates. Edgelands are full of riches of one sort and another. Biodiversity or ‘development’ potential epnding upon your perspective. A legal challenge to preserve the northern edgeland has been launched. The prints on the southern edgeland decayed, peeled, and have now been removed.
