Encounters Vol. 1 compiles ten of Ireland’s most accomplished writers and poets responding to a decade of contemporary art exhibitions at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios. This collection includes thoughtful reflections, pithy abstractions, fantastical prose, and poetic forms which reflect a range of literary styles and approaches. The writing illustrates the many remarkable experiences and expressions that occur when visual art meets the written word, revealing a certain type of magic when creative disciplines meet.
