EXHIBITION

Susan Connolly: These are the roads I have walked and know well

In her new collection, midwinter, Susan Connolly

explores the local landscape of Drogheda and

surrounding area in lyric shapes and in visual poetry

using a typewriter font, handwriting and two letter

stamp sets. After making concrete poetry in the form

of freehand word-drawings for four years, in 2009 she

wrote her first typewriter poem, 'The Sun-Artist', on a

portable Olympia typewriter.

Many of her recent typewriter poems have been

influenced by the use of step pattern in the Lindisfarne

Gospels and by early Irish illuminated manuscripts of

the eighth and ninth centuries.

Join Macha Press to celebrate the publication of

midwinter, with an exhibition featuring Susan

Connolly's verbal -visual matter and concertina books.

Free, ongoing!

This event is supported by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, and the Shared Island Civic Society Fund, managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the Government of Ireland.
