10-18 September
Look out for some beautiful words on pavements around Ballycastle town but they only appear in the rain!
10-18 September
Various locations around Ballycastle Town
Artist Katy English will place quotes from poems all around the town of Ballycastle, and we'll make the best of the rain when it comes.
If you're out and about in Ballycastle and get caught in a shower (it happens!), look at the ground beneath your feet. You might be lucky enough to see the quotes from poems, placed there by artist Katy English on our behalf. See them? Take a picture and tweet us @poetryjukebox @poetryireland @artscouncilni #PoetryTown - JOIN IN!
For once, let’s hope that it rains!
Among the rain paint writings, you’ll find:
So throw open
the drapes
And praise
the rain
(from 'A Fragment Torn from the Book of Showers' by Doireann Ní Ghriofa, from To Star the Dark, Dedalus Press 2021)
Don’t sit out the storm,
don’t pray that it passes.
Move as it moves
and move in it.
(by Leeanne Quinn from her collection Some Lives, Dedalus Press 2020)
