Poet, composer, international performing and recording artist Richard Fammerée is founder and director of UniVerse of Poetry [www.universeofpoetry.org]. Lessons of Water & Thirst, a book of his poems, 

is included in the Poetry Library of Royal Festival Hall, London. Manfred Gordon (Cambridge University) describes this volume of poetry as 

“sensual and psychological, lush in the tradition of French Symbolism.” 

Fammerée is a pioneer of the global renaissance of poetry married to 

music and new media, scoring poems into alternative/contemporary art songs. His creations are “pansophic and visceral in the same breath,” twining passion, spirituality, sensuality. 

Founder and co-director of Saint Cloud, a fine art performance ensemble [www.saintcloud.co.uk], Fammerée performs and records internationally. Collaborations include recordings with poet Li-Young Lee, Emmy award-winning singer Toni Childs, Grarmmy winner Frank Myers and poète-chanteuse Carrie Ingrisano. Projects have been produced by David 

Tickle and Paul Christopher Greene.
