"To tiny Ansel Adams, newly arrived on this earth,
the sky must seem a miracle. I’d commit the scene
to black and white if I could, the sky bright

and bottomless, trees gnarled as the knees of elephants."

from ‘Ansel Adams’ Aspens’ by Ailbhe Darcy, from Dublin, Ireland

Here's an example from one of her many juicy collaborations

" I’m returning to South Africa for the first time.

This journey started as a whisper, a quiet mouth that kept asking questions. Over the years it became a coherent and clear voice, that kept getting louder. Now it is a song, sprung from a yearning to fill in the missing parts. To understand my mother’s story. It is something that goes beyond memory and imagination, and moves into the experiential and real. Ultimately, it’s a chance to shed light, in order to change the direction of a future."

Rebecca Tantony will join our easy speakers to share writings from her recent project Singing my Mother's Song, exploring family lineage, ancestry and the feminine.
