His creative interweaving of poetry, prose, monologue, drama, and theatricality creatively meets the moment we as a society and artistic community find ourselves in.\" -- JESSE WEAVER, New Work Associate, Abbey Theatre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"'Words must be some kind of cybernetic hoax, ' Adam Wyeth writes in this hallucinatory and shape-shifting collection. Musing on language and relationships, where 'words are looking through you', Wyeth conjures a seeking consciousness from the restless 'blanks' of our lives, and like W.S. Graham, a modernist romantic, Wyeth makes writing a raison d'être. The diversity and depth of these inquiries into poetic identity, and self-hood are by turn meditative and dramatic. Here's a book which delights in the 'drunkenness of things being various', and fuses connections from the inner and outer lives of its speakers. Imaginatively rhizomatic, about: blank is both a playful and deadly serious manifesto about how language shapes who we are or what we might be.\" -- PAUL PERRY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Wyeth is a remarkable wordsmith with a truly distinctive and unique approach to the craft - in that his words play like firecrackers within their own sound and metaphor scape, truly blending poetic idioms with oblique narrative to produce a highly distinctive and evocative set of worlds unlike any other writer in the field today. \u003ci\u003eabout: blank\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on an epic journey through a dreamtime text of isolation, love, loss and misspent language that is contemporary Dublin. Written as a circular mixture of narrative-poetry, prose, monologue - the work has also been adapted as an immersive audio journey that is suspended within a binaural stereo soundscape. With the highly regarded and unique talents of actors Olwen Fouéré and Owen Roe this is certain to be a highly memorable, high-profile offering in these times of social isolation.\" -- MICHARL BARKER-CAVEN, Artistic Director, Civic Theatre, Dublin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Wyeth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915022029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915022028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Salmon Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Adam Wyeth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44055740121343,"sku":"9781915022028","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a17ba494-3fe7-4caa-999c-a33c0a9d0875.jpg?v=1685037517","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/about-adam-wyeth-9781915022028","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
