Remembering the Dead: Northern Ireland

<i>Remembering the Dead: Northern Ireland</i>

New Binary Press is delighted to announce the publication of John Barber’s Remembering the Dead: Northern Ireland.

Remembering the Dead: Northern Ireland remembers and recalls the nearly 3,600 men, women, and children killed during the Troubles.

 

O Absalom! Central to our act of faithful memory is the naming of the dead. John Barber’s Remembering the Dead: Northern Ireland recites the full list from the Time of Troubles. Each name is then recorded on the screen, making a carpet of permanence in the darkness. A powerful and stunning piece.

M. D. Coverley (author of Califia and Egypt: The Book of Going Forth by Day)

Any writer listening for the dead to speak, can only hear them with an open heart. John Barber has such a heart, and it beats authentically throughout his work Remembering the Dead as John catalogues the horrific human loss of the troubles in Northern Ireland.
