BAD BETTY SHOTS: I’m Shocked / Iris Colomb

Bad Betty Shots are limited edition mini-pamphlets, each containing a single long-form poem to give a concentrated hit of the author’s voice. We’ve got 100 copies of each, and then they’re gone!

I’m Shocked is a surreal lyric, drunken voicemail or fireside lament, as rich in rhythm as it is daring in content.

Iris Colomb is a poet, artist and translator based in London. She’s been resident artist and poet at the Centre For Recent Drawing, is the Co-Editor of Haverthorn magazine and a member of interdisciplinary collective ‘No Such Thing’. She’s given individual, collaborative and interactive performances at events in both France and the UK. Her work has been exhibited at the National Poetry Library, and her co-translation (with Elliot Koubis) of ‘The Stories and Adventures of the Baron d’Ormesan’, a series of short stories by Guillaume Apollinaire, was published in 2017.
