Abstract
Cocoa & Nothing is a collaborative collection of poems, the culmination of a season of relay between what Charles Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities called “the chocolate sprites”, inhabited here by Colin Herd and Maria Sledmere, fuelled by toothache, training and their favourite brand of confectionary. Each poem is named after a variety of Ritter Sport and crystallises obsessively around the affective affinities and attitudes associated with each flavour. This poetry collection takes to heart what James Scully asserts in Line Break: Poetry as Social Practice, that poetry is lived as well as written. Documenting the nutty bits of daily existence — from academic burnout to boxing, trash, gossip and the family whatsapp, this is ultimately a book about collaborative artistic practice itself, and about friendship & sharedness.
