Poet Martin Malone and artist Bryan Angus discuss their joint publication, Gardenstown , which offers a vivid evocation of changing seasons in the Northeast’s much-loved village “Gamrie” from spring to winter. The book is a sequence of Malone's remarkable poetry interspersed with Angus's exquisite linocuts which capture the essence of the people, places and wildlife in Northeast Scotland. Here they watch the year pass as, like the tide, the seasons come and go. An exhibition of works from the book will also be on display in the King’s Pavilion. They will discuss their individual contributions, the collaboration between them, and how the process of working together evolved to create the final works.
Martin Malone now divides his time between Donegal, Aberdeenshire and France. He has published four poetry collections: The Waiting Hillside (Templar, 2011), Cur (Shoestring, 2015), The Unreturning (Shoestring, 2019), Gardenstown (Broken Sleep Books, 2024) and a Selected Poems 2005 – 2020: Larksong Static (Hedgehog, 2020). Mariscat Press will publish his fifth pamphlet – Sonnets for my Mother as Lear – in Spring 2025. He is an editor at Poetry Salzburg Review and a Poetry Ambassador for the Scottish Poetry Library.
Bryan Angus is a Gray's School of Art graduate based in Banff on the north Aberdeenshire coast. A skilled lino print maker, he is particularly influenced by the 20th-century Scottish and English landscape artists and the illustration traditions that preceded them. The bulk of his work is inspired by the drama of his local land and weather, enriched by the history of the people and their towns.
