Aqueous Humours Fluid Ground was developed through conversations between Kirsten Cooke (research project Fluid Ground) and Melanie Jackson. Cooke is the commissioning editor of the publication and Jackson is the convenor of The Poorhouse Reading Rooms, an archive, a space for reading and writing and art publishing based in the South West.
This book is funded by Goldsmiths College (UoL) and the University of Plymouth.
