Poetry Monograph 2: Jaki McCarrick

MONOGRAPH is our regular Poetry feature, showcasing a group of themed poems by one poet in a mini pamphlet form, accompanied by photographs and / or illustrations.

Our first collection of 2016, MONOGRAPH 2, features the award-winning writer of plays, short fiction and poetry, Jaki McCarrick, with a series of poems tied together by presence of her father, each deeply rooted in the Irish landscape.

To offset Jaki’s poems, I’ve chosen a series of photographs by poet and activist, Sarah Clancy, who regularly guides groups of visitors around the sights of Ireland, capturing the countryside in all its shifting moods and varied beauty, on her travels.
