  Produced as part of Gavin Wade’s ongoing project Strategic Questions, this time working with artist Alec Finlay, 100 Verses for the 3 Estates resulted from a collaboration with residents of three housing estates in Kings Norton, Birmingham. The book includes digital download of Gavin’s brilliant first album Songs of the Modern World Volume 1.
  
  The Book '100 Verses for 3 Estates' comes out of a series of 6 renga conducted in and with the community of the Kings Norton 3 Estates over a whole year working to a schema proposed by Alec Finlay. Master Poet for all 6 renga was Paul Conneally.
  
  100 Verses for 3 Estates is the answer to “Strategic Questions #26: What is animate? ". This project developed by Gavin Wade from the 40 questions written by R. Buckminster Fuller consists of inviting one or more artists to answer the 40 questions through a publication that can take different forms. Here, for the 26th question, the book documents the making of maps of three Birmingham neighborhoods, using the Japanese Renga method, a collective constrained poem which, when it reaches one hundred verses, is called a hyakuin.
  
  The book has 192 pages.
