Andrew Oldham is part of the Wearpurple project. VENDING POETRY, has been constructed to allow poets to submit work into the VEND-O-RAMA, for readers to digest that work and pass comment in a simple manner. The poetry bank will grow with submissions and allow poets/readers from different countries, cultures and backgrounds to read each other’s work, to read work by new poets and established poets. This is a free service and is open to everyone (there are no editors, the critics are the readers, but all work must adhere to the TERMS & CONDITIONS on the website). VENDING POETRY is copyrighted to Andrew Oldham and was developed with the aid of Sharon Hall/Alex Major at Wearpurple; Carl Waite constructed the final machine at The Virtual Company www.virco-online.com.
