CULTURAL BELONGINGS
The Poetry of Gerald Dawe
Curated by Frank Ferguson, Ulster University, Coleraine
6 – 26 March 2024
Gerald Dawe celebrates the art of living in places. Whether the Belfast of the 1960s, the
anxious territories of the 1970s and 1980s, or the emergent ‘new’ Ireland, his writing
expresses the potency of memory to shape and sustain. One of the country’s most
distinctive living writers, his poetry and memoirs stand as powerful testimonies to the
energy, movement and possibility of the homes and cities in which he resides.
