DALE’S DIATRIBES & DISCOURSES
“Contrapreneur in chief” Dale Lately wrote for The Guardian, VICE, Huffington Post, Slate, Baffler, Big Issue, New Internationalist, Litro, Pop Matters, Quietus, Huffington Post and 3:AM Magazine…..
On arrival in Manchester he set up the Antisocial Networking Club (more famous for being offline) and started the Dale Lately blog pages
He leaves behind several million words, with many more on his blog site – a vast inter-connected web of online & part-published drafts – tomes, novels, docu-fiction and general contrapreneurial diatribes and discourses… (along with countless provocations and contrarian windups on social media)
This site will grow over time as a living archive, as his literary community gets to grips with dusty files and manuscripts, as they emerge from the digital jungles all around us… (any material, send to joe.ravetz@gmail.com ….)
(We are still seeking the infamous “12 tribes of Manchester – from Laptopia to the Frackdonalds service bay”– if anyone knows the whereabouts….)
Firstly… 3 video poems & 3 audio poems, from around 2016, with sounds by Simon Connor
And here are some literary gems in the making … mainly thrown together in the venerable coffee corner oases such as Waterstones, Morrisons and Starbucks
