Some images I took from an early morning walk this morning. We are waking up to nature and nature is waiting for us.

It is good for the soul to reconnect with what is around us. I’m feeling it’s also good to connect to our history. Poetry often does just that and Poetry Ireland have a wonderful podcast – have a listen to poet Jane Clarke read “Pit Ponies of Glendasan” on Words Lightly Spoken

Following on from the wonderful launch of our art book Duality at The Kildare Readers Festival in October 2019, I am delighted to announce the opening of Margo McNulty’s art exhibition in Roscommon Arts Centre.

The exhibition, also entitled Duality, will be opened in Roscommon Arts Centre by Luke Gibbons at 4pm on Saturday 15th February 2020.

In the exhibition, a small selection of my writing complements her visual art just as our work dialogued together in the book. It would be wonderful to see some of you there – everyone is welcome.

See COLLABORATION for some photographs of the opening.

We are both very grateful to Kildare County Council and Roscommon County Council for awarding us Arts Act Grants which helped fund this collaborative project.
