About
John Brown is a poet, visual artist, and editor from Northern Ireland whose book WB Yeats, Samuel Beckett, Fine Art (published by Fenderesky Gallery) explores how and why art inspires writers and looks at the connections between these two art forms.
John worked as Literary Arts Officer for ACNI and organised the Belfast Literary Festival Between the Lines. He has published several poetry collections including As the Crow Flies (Lagan Press) collaborated on several books with visual artists such as After Alexandria (poems/collages), Islands (a response to 28 artworksfrom Ireland, Europe, and the USA), and Snow and The Istanbul Alphabet (with James Hughes'photographs).
Join John for this fascinating exploration of how and why Seamus Heaney used visual art - paintings, sculptures and photographs - in poems and texts to frame what he felt and thought about the world. Brown compares how Heaney used visual art in comparison to other Irish writers. He asks how and why Heaney used art to frame what he thought about landscapes, people, still life, poetry, politics, and religion.
