In 2016/17, Bray poet David Butler received an Arts Commission to write a cycle of site-specific poems following the railway from Booterstown Saltmarsh to the 40ft. He asked his brother, Cambridge lecturer Jim Butler to illustrate Blackrock Sequence, and in 2018, the collaboration won the World Illustrators’ Award (books, professional section). Copies of the limited-edition cycle have been bought by the NCAD, the British Library, the Tate Gallery and Cambridge and Yale Universities. The two brothers are currently collaborating on a Liffey Sequence. This illustrated talk will look at the creative process involved in both collaborations.
David Butler’s second poetry collection, All the Barbaric Glass, was published in 2017 by Doire Press. Arlen House is to bring out his second short story collection, Fugitive, in 2019. Literary prizes for poetry include the Féile Filíochta, Ted McNulty, Brendan Kennelly, Poetry Ireland/Trocaire and Baileborough awards.
