Interview Update

Since my last Interview Update, I have had an interview published by ArtWay with Nicola Ravenscroft and an interview for Artlyst with Sean Scully and Hughie O'Donoghue.

My interview with Nicola focuses on her bronze sculpture at the Royal Free Hospital which stands as a lasting tribute to the courage, compassion, and dedication of NHS staff. In my joint interview with Sean and Hughie, they reflect on the nature of friendship while discussing aspects of their Irish identity, their experiences working during a hostile period for painting, the subsequent triumph of painting, and their experiences creating works for sacred spaces.'

For more on Nicola, click here for my Artlyst interview with Nicola, and here for an ArtWay Visual Meditation on her work. Click here for a poem published by Stride Magazine that was inspired by Nicola's series of 'in the language of angels' images. I have also written short stories about Nicola's mudcub sculptures (now called EarthAngels), which we exhibited at St Andrew's Wickford. The first story in the series is 'The Mudcubs and the O Zone holes.' The second is 'The Mudcubs and the Clean-Up King'. The third is 'The mudcubs and the Wall'.

See also my other pieces on Sean Scully, here, here and here.

As a result of these interviews, I am updating this index of interviews. I have carried out a large number of other interviews for Artlyst, ArtWay, Church Times, International Times, Seen and Unseen, The Big Picture and Art+Christianity. They provide a wide range of fascinating insights into the approaches and practices of artists, arts professionals, clerics, curators, performers, poets and writers.

They can be found at:

International Times: Self-Restoration

Here's my latest exhibition review for International Time s, which is on 'Walls and Windows' at The Minories in Colchester:

'The exhibition suggests that we all map and journey out in the world from the point at which we are born. Our sense of belonging and how we navigate correctly is based on the encounters we have with other beings and the relationships made. When our right to be at peace on our land is disrupted or taken away, we are traumatised and this destroys our bearings and ability to navigate the bigger whole. This exhibition seeks to restore us to ourselves, to one another, and to the world around us.'

My earlier pieces for IT are: an interview with curator Jacquiline Creswell; an interview with the artist Alexander de Cadenet; an interview with artist, poet, priest Sp encer Reece, an interview with the poet Chris Emery, an interview with Jago Cooper, Director of the the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, a profile of singer-songwriter Bill Fay, plus reviews of:

Then, Gwynneth Holt and Thomas Bayliss Huxley-Jones moved to Broomfield in 1949 where they shared a large studio in their garden and both achieved high personal success. 'Broomfield' reviews their stories, work, legacy and motivations.

Amethyst Review: Prayer

My latest poem to be published by Amethyst Review is entitled 'Prayer' and was written during a Quiet day I ran recently on Poetry and Prayer.

For the same day, I also wrote 'Connections and contemplation in poetry and prayer', a brief survey of the connection between poetry and prayer that will be published by Amethyst Review on 16 July. This piece was originally written as the introduction to the Quiet Day.

Amethyst Review is a publication for readers and writers who are interested in creative exploration of spirituality and the sacred. Readers and writers of all religions and none are most welcome. All work published engages in some way with spirituality or the sacred in a spirit of thoughtful and respectful inquiry, rather than proselytizing.

The Editor-in-chief is Sarah Law – poet (mainly), tutor, occasional critic, sometime fiction writer. She has published five poetry collections, the latest of which is 'Thérèse: Poems'. Her novel, Sketches from a Sunlit Heaven is a 2023 Illumination Book Award silver medal winner. She set up Amethyst Review feeling the lack of a UK-based platform for the sharing and readership of new literary writing that engages in some way with spirituality and the sacred.

My other poems to have been published in Amethyst Review are: 'Runwell', 'Are/Are Not', 'Attend, attend' and 'Maritain, Green, Beckett and Anderson in conversation down through the ages'.

I am among those whose poetry has been included in Thin Places & Sacred Spaces, a recent anthology from Amethyst Press. I also had a poem included in All Shall Be Well: Poems for Julian of Norwich, the first Amethyst Press anthology of new poems.

Stride Magazine: Attention speaking attachment

My latest review of poetry for Stride Magazine is on Breath Notes, edited by Linda Kemp, amd The Moral Theology of the Devil / Clothed with the Sun by Linda Kemp:

'Breath Notes is a chapbook that gathers responses to a call for poems attending to religion, faith and spirituality. This focus is an interesting, but entirely appropriate, one for a Press that also publishes a journal of experimental poetics. A similar engagement with religion, faith and spirituality is also to be found in the recent work of the anthology’s Editor, Linda Kemp, including her most recent collection of poems, The Moral Theology of the Devil / Clothed with the Sun.'

My articles for Stride Magazine include 'Five entries in Prog 50' - a piece about five entries found in Prog 50 an encyclopaedia of Prog Rock edited by artist and musician Maurizio Galia - and an article about my 'Five Trios' series of poems. 'Five Trios' is a series of five long poems on thin places and sacred spaces in Essex and East London, each of which are also located within the Diocese of Chelmsford. The five poems in the series are:

International Times have also published several of my poems, beginning with 'The ABC of creativity', which covers attention, beginning and creation, and most recently 'The Edge of Chaos', a state of existence poem.

Stride magazine was founded in 1982. Since then it has had various incarnations, most recently in an online edition since the late 20th century. You can visit its earlier incarnation at http://stridemagazine.co.uk. I have read the poetry featured in Stride and, in particular, the work of its editor Rupert Loydell over many years and was very pleased that Rupert gave a poetry reading when I was at St Stephen Walbrook.

Rupert Loydell is the editor of Stride magazine, contributing editor to International Times and a writer and abstract artist. He has many books of poetry and several collaborative publications in print, and has edited anthologies for Shearsman, KFS and Salt. His critical writing has appeared in Punk & Post-Punk (which he is on the editorial board of), Journal of Writing and Creative Practice, New Writing, English, Text, Axon, Short Fiction in Theory and Practice, Musicology Research, Revenant, The Quint: an interdisciplinary journal from the north and Journal of Visual Art Practice. He has also contributed chapters to Brian Eno. Oblique Music (Bloomsbury, 2016), Critical Essays on Twin Peaks: The Return (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019), Music in Twin Peaks: Listen to the Sounds (Routledge, 2021) and Bodies, Noise and Power in Industrial Music (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022).

Rupert has recently contributed several guest posts to 'Between'. These have been interviews musicians including Nick Battle and Steve Scott who contributed to the early days of christian rock in the UK. I have also published an interview with Rupert himself in which he shares his thoughts on that same period of christian rock, as well as speaking about other aspects of his career and interests. These posts can be read here, here, and here.
