Welcome to my website.

I think of it as a kind of scrapbook that chronicles some of my activities as an author of books about sound and literature, an audio practitioner and a writer of poetry. My career has been multi-disciplinary, exploring the intersections of sound, language and memory. I hope you find something of interest.

My latest work in the field of poetry is Candlelight, and my most recent prose is Wild Track, an examination of the relationship between sound and text. Both are detailed below.

"[...] in this beautiful, deeply moving collection of poems there are small portals, thresholds and open gates, there is colour and starlight and candles that light 'sparks in a pool, / a movement bright in deepest dusk / with beads down the rich glass searching.' There is gratitude and joy for every moment of living, for 'being a part / of the whole green flickering thing / while it lasts, for now.' ("Q & A")"

'In this book Seán Street has re-imagined the term 'Wildtrack', and guides the reader/listener from when sound was "recorded" solely through experience and then replayed from memory, imagination, poetry and prose, clearly across time, harnessing text with the developing role of technology to create a narrative flow as affecting as a woodland chorus in spring.'
Chris Watson, wildlife sound recordist
