SUMMARY:In Conversation with Steve Pyke - Scribendi: Portraits of Irish Writers
DESCRIPTION:Join us at No Alibis for an event with Steve Pyke\, who will be in conversation with Wendy Erskine\, Glenn Patterson and Stephen Sexton about his book Scribendi: Portraits of Irish Writers. Book your free ticket on Ticketsource here! \nFeaturing 100 captivating portraits of many of Ireland’s greatest contemporary writers\, alongside conversations with each on their writing life\, Scribendi is a landmark book of portraits of Irish writers by internationally renowned photographer Steve Pyke. ‘I come from the English Midlands\, but I became a photographer in Ireland. I made my first portraits in Dublin in the early 1980s. \nIt was immediately apparent to me then how important Irish writers are to their country\, in a way I never saw in England or elsewhere. One of my earliest portrait sessions was in 1983\, with the writer Neil Jordan in my first studio in London. I’ve gone on for the subsequent forty years photographing the Irish writers whose books have excited me. Early sitters include Seamus Heaney\, Edna O’Brien and John McGahern. \nMore recent trips have led me to the next generation\, such writers as Anne Enright\, Kevin Barry and Louise Kennedy. I photographed these people because I had read their books and admired and wanted to meet them\, and also to make a record for posterity. Their faces can bring to others something of the feeling and way of thinking behind their words.’ Steve Pyke is one of the world’s most renowned portrait photographers\, has published 10 books to date\, including the critically acclaimed novel I Could Read the Sky with Timothy O’Grady\, and has worked among many other roles\, as resident portrait photographer for The New Yorker from 2004-2014.
