| “MOURNE” Published
by the Tom Caldwell Gallery, “MOURNE” is a collection
of poetry by Paul Yates with images by Basil Blackshaw. It is available
as a paperback and also in a limited edition featuring additional
images and poetry.
The hardback comes in a limited edition of only 395 copies with
slipcase; each is individualized with its own unique line of poetry,
hand written and signed by the poet himself.
This version also features an additional long poem and three extra
images, and is further enhanced by the inclusion of a signed lithograph
by Basil Blackshaw.
“MOURNE” is an extraordinary tour-de-force of words
and images by two of Northern Ireland’s most original and
compelling creative forces. The poems constantly surprise and delight
with their sheer raw power to portray the spirit of Mourne in everything
from a single snowflake or an old enamel bucket to the lofty mightiness
of the mountains and the vast mystery of the ocean.
The images by Basil Blackshaw also reveal an artist at the height
of his powers; knowledgeable and intuitive observations are portrayed
with verve and a deftness of touch resulting in quiet masterpieces
that, like the poems, surprise and delight throughout.
“This is a beautiful production and..... really quite
astonishing.” (Brian McAvera, Irish Arts Review)
