WHY I'M HERE - Lucy English Book Launch
Sun 13th Sept. 6.00pm
Arnolfini bookshop, Bristol.
Admission free.
A sense of place, a subtle sensitivilty to the nuances of people and places - these are rare gifts. Lucy and Sally have found poetry in the normal.
Alastair Sawday.
The poems..often take word and image beyond themselves into an altogether different kind of aesthetic space...the photographs are extended by the poems and the poems extended by the photographs.
Tim Liardet.
In the summer of 2007 performance poet Lucy English and photographer Sally Mundy travelled across Somerset. They asking people: "Why are you here?" The answers were sometimes unexpected and often moving. This collection explores the notion of 'special places'. Why do people visit certain locations? Is it natural beauty, literary associations or personal connections? This cycle of poems and photographs tries to find some answers.
