Encounters Vol. 1 compiles ten of Ireland’s most accomplished writers and poets responding to a decade of contemporary art exhibitions at Temple Bar Gallery + Studios.

This collection includes thoughtful reflections, pithy abstractions, fantastical prose, and poetic forms which reflect a range of literary styles and approaches. The writing illustrates the many remarkable experiences and expressions that occur when visual art meets the written word, revealing a certain type of magic when creative disciplines meet.

With contributions by Sarah Baume, Claire-Louise Bennett, Gavin Corbett, Nicole Flattery, Ian Maleney, Thomas Morris, Annemarie Ní Churreáin, Doireann Ní Ghriofa, Padraig Regan, Nidhi Zak/Aria Eipe, and a commissioned essay by Gustav Parker Hibbett.

‘The best art lingers in your thoughts, long after an exhibition is over. Encounters, Vol. 1 extends this with a rare, and remarkable chance to get inside the minds of both artists and writers. Here are words, moments and insights to savour and return to, time and again." - Gemma Tipton, Arts and Culture Writer for The Irish Times.

‘This amazing line-up of writers and artists is proof, if any were needed, that Dublin’s cultural quarter is a place where exciting things happen, where real talents mingle and their ideas collide.’ - Anne Enright, Irish author and Professor of Fiction, University College Dublin.
