Holly Pester collaborated with Joshua Kaye to create Presidents and Birds and Even.

Holly Pester (1982) is an experimental sound poet and writer undergoing practice-led research at Birkbeck, University of London in 'Speech and the Archive in Intermedia Poetry'. Her performance texts are experiments in the sound and shape of speech, blending pre-verbal noises with semantic surrealism in an investigation into language transmission. She is currently investigating the sound aesthetic of the 'radio-voice' and the poetic qualities of analogue sound.

Holly Pester regularly performs her poetry at art and literary events in the UK including the Seprentine Gallery Poetry Marathon and the upcoming Text Festival 2011. this also includes collaborative works with regular co-performers Jamie Wilkes and Abbi Oborne. She has been published in numerous journals and an anthology of London poets, City State.
