Landscape with Question

Through a series of intricately patterned 'landscape' poems, the east coast of Ireland and the medieval town of Drogheda are set against and alongside the central European city of Vienna and the banks of the River Danube as the real and imagined align and ask questions of each other. What is present beneath the surface of a city? What trace of time does a river or sea still hold? Landscape with Question is the first creative work to extensively engage with one of Ireland's leading Modernist artists, Nano Reid. The temporal and geographic layers of Reid's paintings, the complex psychological interiority of Ingeborg Bachmann's Malina, the movements of tides and the pattern of human and animal life in urban landscapes all serve as constellations for the speaker of this pan-European quest narrative by award-winning Irish poet Leeanne Quinn.
