In this remarkable collaboration between two of Ireland’s finest artists,
James Harpur and Paul Ó Colmáin
have produced a book of wonders, a set of poems and artworks that imaginatively restore the lives of the Irish saints. Here are pages in which the human and divine, natural and supernatural, converge and interfuse into a realm which is recognisably Irish, but also a place beyond – where Ireland is invisible.
In A Place Where Ireland Is Invisible James Harpur has produced ‘a rich and fresh harvest, allowing the wonder-tales of Irish saints such as Brendan and Gobnait to shine in their own depth and simplicity. Paul Ó Colmáin’s varied and fluent wood engravings are marvellously complementary, adding fresh and sometimes surprising perspectives on the narrative. This is a beautiful book.’ Paddy Bushe
A Place Where Ireland Is Invisible is a collector’s item: a limited hardback 40-page edition of 400 copies, each signed by the author and artist. The book comes with a cover slip and its pages are sewn in signatures, using the finest quality paper.
