“None of this makes any sense” – Carol McKay & Keith McKay (eBook PDF Edition)

Description

None of this makes any sense by Carol McKay & Keith McKay

As Carol describes it:

“Called ‘None of this makes any sense’, it’s comprised of four of my poems matched with four asemic poems by my creative partner, Keith McKay.

What does ‘asemic’ mean? Controversial! It means ‘A-semic’ or ‘non-sense’. I’d describe it as part of a genre of visual poetry, which is becoming increasingly popular as an art form, and increasingly interesting. See Keith’s website for more info on the genre.

Our pamphlet is A6 in size, with full-colour images of Keith’s asemic works, one of which was selected for exhibition in Buenos Aires in November 2023.

My poems muse on the search for meaning and purpose in life, when – sometimes – it can seem none of it makes any sense.”

Acclaimed Welsh poet Ifor ap Glyn, as guest editor for the Scottish Poetry Library, nominated ‘Ceilidh’ from that collection as one of the twenty Best Scottish Poems of 2022. Carol won the Scottish Association of Writers’ James Muir Poetry Competition in 2023 and was Scriever for the Federation of Writers (Scotland) then, too. None of this makes any sense is her first creative collaboration with Keith McKay, though you could say they’ve been in a creative collaboration for fifty years.Carol’s website is https://www.carolmckay.co.uk
