Taken from Máighréad Médbh’s Dwelling (Macha, 2026) – a hybrid text which moves between poem, essay, and fieldwork – this en face poster object charts one of the text’s many acts of walking, reading, and reimagining landscape. It is at once a score for sounding in Times New Roman in four-letter words of equal length, beginning ‘f’ and ‘s’, taken alphabetically from Shorter Oxford English Dictionary Sixth Edition (2007) / scór le fuaimniú in Ardchló Gaelach. Focail ceithre-litir ag tosú le ‘c’, den fhad céanna le ‘cois’ nó ‘céim’, tógtha in ord aibítre ó Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla le Niall Ó Dónaill, Tomás de Bhaldraithe an t-eagarthóir comhairleach, Baile Átha Cliath: An Gúm (2007).
Dwelling is a work of excavation: lyrical, archival, and embodied. At its centre is Kate, Máighréad Médbh’s great grandmother, likely the subject of eviction during the clearances after the Irish Famine: a figure both spectral and grounding. From her displacement unfolds a meditation on ownership and loss, on land and energy, on how memory itself is harvested and converted into power.
Edition of 53, hand-signed by the poet. 210mm x 420mm, 80gsm Munken Print Cream Volume 18.
