Guitar! (Bookworks 2020) by Sarah Tripp, inspiration for TS-IP, was also recently published. It describes the contours and conditions of writing—interrupted, in flashes, or in restless moments through the night. A narrator listens; as a child learns to speak there is a re-acquaintance with the strangeness of putting a feeling into words. There is a yearning for meeting and an idea of love or companionship as a sense of being met. Reading is punctuated by a series of black and white images of buskers, photographed by Francis McKee in Glasgow. Cover artwork by Ciara Phillips. Supported by Creative Scotland and Glasgow School of Art. To purchase or receive more information go to www.bookworks.org.uk/n…
