Some of the small selection of artists’ books I have put together for an exhibition at druckwerk Basel, 16-18 June, during the week of Art Basel. Part of the CFPR's cabinet of Curiosities in: Alive! Contemporary Printmaking, a showcase of artefacts beyond the multiple. cfpr.uwe.ac.uk/alive-contem...
Artist's book: Looking at Prints by Richard Roberts (Roberts Print, 2020). It has a gold cover with black outlines of framed works of art. Inside,  rather than showing the artworks themselves, it has pictures of people looking at printed artworks in exhibitions.Artist's book: Exceptional Subjects, by Norman McBeath photographer and printmaker & Melissa McCarthy writer (Easel Press, 2024). A photographic study of items selected from a private collection built up over a number of years. While the objects are all connected to the process of looking - with many linked to the early stages of photography - they are no longer tied by their name or defined by context.Artist's book: I know my ABC by Paul Cooke (Dubious Books, 2023). Hand drawn images in the style of a children's ABC book, this image is for the letter N, and shows a drawing of the singer Nick Cave (dressed in a pale blue suit) holding a newt that is sitting on a white napkin on his outstretched hands. It is a play on letters and also a tribute to singers and artists that the maker admires.The exhibition poster for Alive! Contemporary Printmaking. The text details the venue and the participant organisations: Centre for Print Research, The Racket Club, Edition POW.

Six decades of poetry From the earliest issues of the magazine, Resurgence has made space for poetry as a way of listening to the living world, to human experience, and to the quiet truths that sit beneath mainstream headlines > conta.cc/4a2LxfZ #Poetry #Poem #Poet #Writing #Resurgence #Magazine
Progression by Peter Bradford, Vol. 2 No. 5, January/February 1969

This poem exposes the tragic irony at the heart of 'progress': that in trying to possess, protect and dominate, humanity steadily impoverishes itself.

In its final lines, the poem confronts us with the ultimate cost of this trajectory — a future in which nothing is left to remember.

Read poem > https://ocean.exacteditions.com/issues/47748/spread/10?rc=540b7844-752e-4809-8727-06e4e2d33e5cThree poems by Thomas Land, Tony Curtis & P.W. Vol. 5 No. 2, May/June 1974

These three poems reflect on freedom as a natural state, and on the forces that constrain it.

From lightness and movement to violence and waiting, they echo a central Resurgence concern: that when life is controlled rather than cared for, both Nature and the human spirit suffer.

Read poems > https://ocean.exacteditions.com/issues/48767/spread/18?rc=5ad58b2f-6c31-49a6-8455-2837380c781eThe Ground that Seeks Love by Paul Matthews, Issue 213, July/August 2002

This two-poem selection reflects on attention, presence, and the meaning held within everyday acts.

Drawing on art, memory, and the mundane, the poems show how meaning arises when we truly attend to what is before us — a jug, a gesture, a moment of work — rather than standing apart as detached observers.

Read poems > https://ocean.exacteditions.com/issues/45432/spread/36?rc=1e0dc8c2-8b9e-4777-8b7e-f167cf7e4c22The Uses of the Globe by David Broadbridge, Issue 284, May/June 2014

Seen from space, the Earth is both fragile and alive: the melting ice, rising seas and changing weather remind us that we are not owners, but guests.

The poem invites us to attention, care and shared responsibility, showing that survival and joy come from tending the world as our true dwelling place.

on the drying grass in the park under falling leaves with Pattern-book by @eireannmor.bsky.social
SONNET FOR THE SECOND- LANGUAGE SPEAKER
What is a word? — Depends on who you ask.
For instance, in the rigid Flemish taal, so many things that feel like words don't pass, and my sprung language doesn't work at all.
My sentences are yet another place where stringent rule-embracers don't agree: to me, an error shows the second face of grammar. The mistakes are what I mean.
The thing I value most in any line— drawn, made, wrote, thought, in fantasy or fact— is flexibility: that, like a spine,
the art supports the mind by which it's maked.
What use is language flattened, dried in books?
Our language lives most when it is mistook.
