A B Tree
A pamphlet of my poems, one for each tree in the Gaelic Tree Alphabet, with a concertina of images.
During the A-B-Tree project I challenged myself to write a poem for each of the trees in the Gaelic Tree Alphabet. The result is a sequence, which I originally produced as a hand-made art book for people who helped in the project. This sequence has since won second prize in the Overton competition in 2015.
In this little book the poems grow up from the bottom of the page, instead of hanging from the top, and they’re ‘rooted’ with the old Gaelic and modern English names of the tree plus their ogham symbol (the Gaelic script from ancient times). It contains a concertina of beautiful images, one for each tree, by Bill Ritchie.
