==Published work== His first book 'Story the Flowers' was made at Calvert's Co-Operative Press in Bethnal Green in 2010. The work is constructed within the tradition of psychogeography and of the city wanderer or flaneur and has been re-imagined and cited as influence for other artists, most recently East India Youth in the naming of his album, 'Culture of Volume', taken from the poem 'Monument'.

The works with Eno led to the coining of the term 'poetronica' in the press, a term suggesting that evolving digital literacy continues to change conventional literary narrative<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2011/dec/30/rise-of-poetronica|title=The rise of poetronica|author=Kieran Yates|work=The Guardian|date=30 December 2011 |accessdate=10 February 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.electronicbeats.net/en/features/conversations/steven-levy-skypes-with-rick-holland/|title=Steven Levy skypes with Rick Holland|work=electronicbeats.net|accessdate=10 February 2015}}</ref> and recent work with Robert Thomas (former Chief Creative Officer for RjDj) seeks to further explore new and non-linear formats for writing and reading poems.
