Event Description:
In WHAT WE WEAR WHEN WE GO OUT, Wexford poet, A M Cousins introduces a selection of garments – the material record of the life experiences that inspire her writing. From the ‘pink babygro with a rabbit motif’ in which her daughter’s birthmother dressed the infant before relinquishing her; the long green mac that a mother throws on over her nightdress to escort her teenage child home from a nightclub; to the 1950’s wedding dress ‘rescued’ by the middle-aged daughter after her elderly mother goes to a nursing home, Cousins weaves poetry and music to navigate her way through some of the extraordinary events of an ordinary life.
