about

Poetry in Sounds is a new music contest hosted by Naviar Records. Every month we’ll present a recently published poetry collection and invite musicians worldwide to make a song inspired by the main themes of the publication. Parallel to the weekly Naviar Haiku challenge, Poetry in Sounds is a monthly contest where the author and Naviar’s team will select the three best tracks and reward the artists with free music software or books.

This project aims to strengthen the bond between music and poetry further, offer musicians a regular opportunity to hone their craft and get new tools to explore a broader range of sounds.

POETRY IN SOUNDS – BULL ISLAND HAIKU

SYNOPSIS:

Pat Boran’s haiku sequence (or rensaku) explores the flora and fauna of Dublin Bay’s (North) Bull Island, a land mass formed by the changing currents in the bay after the construction of the North Bull Wall (between 1820–25) in an effort to improve access to the port.

Boran’s rhyming haiku observe the interplay of bird, human and plant life on the island, and celebrate the delicate balance of a biosphere on the very doorstep of Ireland’s capital city.

The book is illustrated by the author’s own photographs of the island, taken over the course of a year of daily visits.

EXTRACT:

Waves themselves, their wings

flashing silver when they turn

as one – the starlings.

*

The sky and the sea.

And that faint line in between,

drawn as if for me.

*

Maids from Cabra West,

Painted Lady butterflies

up from Marrakech …

*

All day by the sea,

meeting my own footprints now

out to look for me.

*

Old man in a car

staring out to sea, Tosca

singing from the heart.

*

Here’s our own selves there

in the water, looking up,

moonlight in our hair.

*

First, a mystery,

the absence of things. And then?

Then the land, the sea …

THEMES:

-Nature

-The fragility and transience of seascapes

-The human–nature relationship

-Memories

-Sea
