About the Book

Keep looking at the outside world until the outside world is no longer outside.

"Wyeth is a poet of ideas exquisitely wrought and swarming, demanding a reader awake to complexity on a subtle scale." -- AILBHE DARCY

"Adam Wyeth's work is fresh and intriguing, alive with imaginative riffs, grave humour and more besides - it rewards close attention." -- DEREK MAHON

"Wyeth is a beachcomber on the edge of his own infinities, where fact, legend and anecdote flow together." -- HARRY CLIFTON

"about: blank crystallizes Adam Wyeth's grasp of the theatrical power of language. His creative interweaving of poetry, prose, monologue, drama, and theatricality creatively meets the moment we as a society and artistic community find ourselves in." -- JESSE WEAVER, New Work Associate, Abbey Theatre

"'Words must be some kind of cybernetic hoax, ' Adam Wyeth writes in this hallucinatory and shape-shifting collection. Musing on language and relationships, where 'words are looking through you', Wyeth conjures a seeking consciousness from the restless 'blanks' of our lives, and like W.S. Graham, a modernist romantic, Wyeth makes writing a raison d'être. The diversity and depth of these inquiries into poetic identity, and self-hood are by turn meditative and dramatic. Here's a book which delights in the 'drunkenness of things being various', and fuses connections from the inner and outer lives of its speakers. Imaginatively rhizomatic, about: blank is both a playful and deadly serious manifesto about how language shapes who we are or what we might be." -- PAUL PERRY

"Wyeth is a remarkable wordsmith with a truly distinctive and unique approach to the craft - in that his words play like firecrackers within their own sound and metaphor scape, truly blending poetic idioms with oblique narrative to produce a highly distinctive and evocative set of worlds unlike any other writer in the field today. about: blank takes readers on an epic journey through a dreamtime text of isolation, love, loss and misspent language that is contemporary Dublin. Written as a circular mixture of narrative-poetry, prose, monologue - the work has also been adapted as an immersive audio journey that is suspended within a binaural stereo soundscape. With the highly regarded and unique talents of actors Olwen Fouéré and Owen Roe this is certain to be a highly memorable, high-profile offering in these times of social isolation." -- MICHARL BARKER-CAVEN, Artistic Director, Civic Theatre, Dublin
