Description

Photographs can arrest time, capturing moments and landscapes in a single frame. In her poems, Sinéad Morrissey explores what is seen, read, and misread in the surfaces of the presented world.

The paradoxes of representation are at the heart of these poems, which document the intersection of art, technology, and perception. From the magical marble escalator to heaven in 1946 to the illicit worlds of the Victorian Mutoscope, Morrissey's words delve into the complexities of what is caught and lost when our surroundings are frozen in time.

Assured and unsettling, these poems offer a nuanced exploration of the ways in which we engage with the world around us. With its unique blend of observation and introspection, Parallax invites readers to consider the power of representation and the nature of perception.
