Reading creative work is difficult so I have great respect for
the three DMU postgraduates who took part in the showcase at Cultural Exchanges.
Emma Conway's thoughtful readings evoked a fantastical SciFi world of
3-D printing where humanity is eventually
overrun. Laurie Cusack gave an
impassioned and flavoursome recitation of various scenes of distinctly Irish
origin; the refrain of “Burn the Bastards” really stuck with me. Finally Pam
Thompson gave us a glimpse of her ekphrastic poetry (including a gripping pantoum) which revolved around a holographic
timepiece and a ship in a giant bottle.
This eclectic group of writers was a great reflection of the literary world.
