Born in Sydney in 1949 he works at the Australian Experimental Art Foundation in Adelaide where he runs the Dark Horsey bookshop \u0026amp; edits Little Esther books.\u003c\/p\u003e\nKen Bolton, \u003cem\u003eLondon Journal \/ London Poem. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDecember 2015. 68pp. ISBN 978-1-922181-61-9\u003cbr\u003eRelease date: December 1, 2015.\n\n\u003ciframe style=\"width:550px;height:350px\" src=\"https:\/\/online.anyflip.com\/wuapt\/ivyh\/index.html\" seamless=\"seamless\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Vagabond Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":6406155844,"sku":"","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0182\/8349\/products\/Bolton_London_Cover.jpg?v=1445220406","url":"https:\/\/vagabondpress.net\/ja\/products\/ken-bolton-london-journal-london-poem","provider":"Vagabond Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
