Sacchidānanda, Poetry by Déirdre Carr by Emajõe Disain

“She’s at once childlike and quizzical, a TwentyFirst Century original and the genuine article is Déirdre Carr.” Medbh McGuckian “I praise highly the work and poetry of Déirdre Carr, especially her deep imaginative ability.” Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill “I admire Déirdre Carr’s poems for their passion and risk.” Pat Boran “Déirdre Carr’s poems in their prayer-like simplicity ... keep the chanting memory of song ... and should be read in the open air. Carr’s poems are Incantatory like all the best poems.” Fred Johnson

Sacred Heart of The Burren

Enchanted landscapes of Öland and the Burren By Bodil Petersson In an inspiring combination of tangible and intangible aspects of history and heritage, landscape, plants and humans, local and global, folklore and beliefs, Déirdre Carr expresses life in words that move swiftly between the landscapes of Ireland, Sweden and Israel. Her poems and paintings in “Sacchidānanda Sacred Heart of the Burren” connect places and people across the world. In recent years, beginning in 2018 and still ongoing and developing, I’ve had research collaborations with Déirdre Carr in the setting of a group of Irish and Swedish artists and archaeologists working together to find ways to combine art, archaeology and heritage in new and experimental ways. I am myself an archaeologist and heritage researcher, and when I read Déirdre Carr’s poems and look at her paintings, I find several fascinating connective points throughout these poetic expressions where I recognize inspiration from our collaborative efforts as well as from places we have visited together and talked about. These places I have visited in both Ireland and Sweden come to life again as I experience them in new and unexpected ways. Expression through poetry and painting is different from an archaeologist’s way of expressing things. I’ve always tried to linger at the intersection of the more dry and exact interpretation of scientific practice and the more alive and sensual, inspiring expressions of artistic practice and interpretation. In the case of heritage and art, both have a study of life forms, traditions, and the unexpected findings at their core. Thereby they are united. It is fascinating how encounters across time and space are coming to life in the poems. Places and monuments of the karstic limestone landscapes of the Burren in Clare and Stora Alvaret on the island of Öland are connected through geology, nature, and culture, and woven into one whole via personal experience. The former division into nature and culture becomes more and more obsolete though, and that is also one important message I read from Carr’s work of Sacchidānanda. From my own point of departure in Swedish nature, culture and heritage, it is interesting to see how the character and appearance of Öland has come to poetic expression resting in Irish tradition and language, and how encounters between these similar but different Swedish and Irish landscapes, heritages and languages are voiced through poetry and painting, making it possible for the artists and archaeologists in the processes of both the Swedish Karum group of artists and archaeologists (named

Sacchidānanda

Sacred Heart of The Burren

after an Öland alvar landscape scattered with ancient remains and traditions), and Creevagh group (named after an Irish landscape of similar character), to recognize ourselves and our different parts of both local and global heritage and life forms. The personal is combined with group experience, the local relevance is stretched out into something eternally coherent and globally meaningful. As I come from an area of Sweden that bears the traditions, and in addition from a university that bears the name of the botanist Carl von Linné, I am familiar with several both Latin and vernacular names of flowers. The texts of “Sacchidānanda” contain flowing expressions of sensualism and sexuality, mixed with heritage and tradition in an inspiring experience. I am almost carrying in my DNA the Linnaean tradition of collecting flowers, press them flat, dry them and examine their petals, stamens and pistils. The poetic expression here moves from classification of the sexual life of plants to the flowing and expressive sensuality of sexual life in general. Sensualism and sexuality are part of heritage and come to life here, something that happens more rarely in a purely scientific context. These poems show how aspects of heritage natural and cultural are all around us in different disguises and they are expressed through poems and paintings in very personal yet accessible ways through an intensive stream of words and colours. I come from a part of the world, Scandinavia, that is known for a minimalistic tradition in design and expression, often described as sval (cool), and I am completely captured and swept away by these words that differ much to what I am used to. It is a persuading encounter. The Öland landscape is worshipped for its way of connecting land with sky via the shimmering sea and creates a special light that is so desired by painters. The Öland solmålaren (sun painter) Per Ekström (1844–1935) is famous for capturing this special light. It is as if in parts the poet captures and connects with Ekström’s Öland sceneries through her words and paintings. The rhythmic and repetitive way of expression forms a fascinating story. As I’ve heard Déirdre Carr perform orally, I can hear her voice as I read her poetic texts. The unique character of the Burren and the Irish are discernible but not fully understandable for a foreigner like me. I am though very grateful for these recent years of collaboration with a possibility to approach an understanding. Catholic saints and sacred flowers of the Burren, Gentian blue and the silvery Burren landscape are threads that follow the reader throughout the texts and paintings. A sensuous, visually enchanting experience, it is like a heritage shock that evokes a need to reflect upon details like names of flowers, people, insects, colours, places and realize

Sacchidānanda

Sacred Heart of The Burren

that behind the use of each word is a profound world of mystery and excitement, a jungle of experiencing the otherwise and the elsewhere. The poetry and paintings present a richness of the local, probing into landscapes and people and their different ways through movement and a rhythm of alliteration. There is a fascinating translocal recognition and connection of landscapes in the Burren and on Öland with their similar limestone ground and vegetation, though not similar in general appearance. The Öland poet Anna Rydstedt (1928–1994) who has expressed the specific Öland nature in her poems can in parts be seen parallel to Déirdre Carr’s poetry of the Burren. The reading enriches my understanding of both English and Irish nuances sprinkled with Latin, Hebrew and fragments also of other languages. I am captivated by how the Öland and Ireland landscapes and experiences are intermingled in language joy and playfulness; Öland and the Burren, similar but different. I finish with a quote from one of the poems that captures these enchanted landscapes of mystery and witchery, aspects of the heritage we carry with us: “Imagine when water collects in Stora Alvaret old roads reappear fairylike Just like magic as waymarks on route between Resmo & Gösslunda in the Alvar Much the same as Turloughs or Old Lakes appearing & disappearing dream like On road between Corofin & Kinvara in the Burren.” “Making Öland & Burren a sister act of magic Commonly mysterious supernatural & full of witchery With swiftly changing light & scudding clouds With old roads & lakes appearing & disappearing In their unique captivating enchanting spellbinding landscapes.”

Sacchidānanda

Sacred Heart of The Burren

Déirdre Carr’s “Sacchidãnanda, Sacred Heart of the Burren” By Cristín Leach I used to go to The Burren when I was small. The flat rock lunar landscape dotted with rare flowers was a mystical place. The sun shone, and when it did not, the wet rocks and glistening leaves revealed more magic. The Burren is for finding yourself and for getting lost. It’s a place where two sisters could descend an enormous rockface like a wide slide. Deirdre Carr’s poems and paintings capture some of this wild, magical, connected, adventurous spirit. In aerial footage she moves through grey and green terrain in a pink dress, carrying red roses apparently seeking to lay them in a particular place. Her body is a bright moving presence on the rock. The poems in this collection proceed like mantras. They are prayers or incantations that build as they loop over and under, like a choir singing in the round. Words repeat, language layers. This book is a rhythmic love song. My mother told me the names of Burren flowers: spring gentian, bird’s foot trefoil, bloody crane’s bill. And she told me how to recognise them: counting petals, gauging hues, spotting iconic faces between the slabs. We saw fossils, named rock formations, and rock types too. Carr finds all the words, or many words, for one thing and piles them together, building lines to dig down into the depths of all potential meanings. Her Burren paintings offer a terrain map - of climbing roses, churches, red lines, in Sacchidãnanda IIII Karum & Christ Rose; of blue sky and brick patterns, in Sacchidãnanda II Creevagh & Jentian; of tracks, circles and gaps, in Clints and Grykes. There are constellations of repeat forms and a mammal concealed in Güsslunda Rör; gold leaf, domes, doors, and patterns like pews, in Sacchidãnanda III Church of Holy Sepulchre & Holy Caper. Kilshanny is a village. Faces are hidden in the rock of Turlough Hill. Buried forebears point to buried knowledge, buried happenings, memory contained. There are wounds, origins, plants, and sacred buildings in this place. Saccidānanda means being, consciousness, bliss. It is a compounded Sanskrit word. Carr revels in the lyricism of language, and the collected wisdom in words and placenames. She moves with ease from the intensely intimate to the wider worldly.

Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” Burren In an epic fantasy adventure where a meek hobbit from the Shire & eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the Ring Saving middle earth from the dark. With your limestone plateau known as the Burren With its rough intriguing & attractive landscape Formed 320 million years ago under a tropical Sea Later shaped by ice, hard weather, man & his beasts. The Burren’s biggest challenge is Farmers growing grass Clearing big boulders to access the earth for grazing Mullach Mõr is proof of success With its grazing healthy pregnant Belted Galloway Seen by BurrrenBeo walkers & bird watchers alike. You’ve even inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” Burren In an epic fantasy adventure where a meek hobbit from the Shire & eight companions set out on a journey to destroy the Ring Saving middle earth from the dark. Many Wedge Tombs & Megalithic Tombs are Dolmen graves Sprawled on landscape indicating settlers living there for more than 5,000 years Dolmen is Breton for table which is what it looks like A large capstone on two or three standing stones like Poulnabrone Where 20 to 30 of our ancestors are buried in A Rest in Peace Homage.

I think it’s very apt that in 2021 we now have an emoji symbol that represents The Sacred Sound of the Earth ... and the emoji is called “unalome”. — Déirdre

Unalome Poem Selected for film for 2021 Conference University of Western Australia. The Arts in Society Research Network Unalome Unalome symbol represents the path to enlightenment in the Buddhist culture. The spirals are meant to symbolise the twists & turns in life & the straight lines the moment one reaches enlightenment or peace & harmony. The dot at the end of the symbol represents death or the moment we change our form. Om Om embodies the divine energy. Om means self within spirit Atman Om or Aum is a sacred sound of the universe. Om symbol is a combination of curves crescent & a dot The sound Om vibrates at the frequency of 423 Hertz Which is the same vibrational frequency found in all things throughout nature. Om & Unalome Hear the sacred archeological sounds of the Earth in Om & Unalome Emoji’s drawn & sung out again.

Judaism Holiest Site The Western Wall surrounds the ancient Temple in Jerusalem A beautiful site for prayer & pilgrimage People of all faiths including Pope John Paul II & Pope Benedict XVI Leave notes or place slips of paper containing requests & prayers Written to God & Mary into the cracks of Al-Buraq Wall or Western Wall. A phenomenon dating from the 18th Century Stemming from the Jewish tradition That the Divine presence rests upon the Western Wall Where over 1 million notes are placed Later collected by Rabbi Shmuel Rabinovitch twice a year & buried in Jewish Cemetery in Mount of Olives. Burning is a pure way to deal with notes But burying them is more honourable So, notes are put in cloth sacks & buried in the same manner As old prayer books & Torah scrolls.

The stone is always decorated in ornamental calligraphy texts In variety of inks Blue Green Red Full of petition requests pleads Of pouring out one’s heart in song dance laughing crying With lips pressed to stone in kissing stone Let’s place a powerful prayer for peace With the help of Gila my holy land guide. Peace Worldwide for all Mankind in their Kith & Kin. Jerusalem’s Western Wall is littered in notes in every nook & cranny Built as a retaining structure on the Western flank of the Temple Mount By King Herod two decades before Christ’s birth. Jews came there initially to lament the destruction of the Temple by Romans Now it is a Prayer Wall decorated in notes. Took paper in hand and wrote down “peace worldwide for all mankind in their kith & kin” I passed down through The Church of the Holy Sepulchre Believed by many as site of Golgotha & down the Via Dolorosa Then to the Temple Mount across a great courtyard the Wall stood Illuminated radiantly a fifteen-story relic of an ancient time Orthodox Jews & non-Orthodox Jews were praying & bowing in a rhythm I walked to the Wall & inserted my prayer into the Clint & Gryke. Touching the Wall with my fingertips they tingled Followed by a huge sense of peace like I had never known enveloped me Similar peace to when I visited Saint Maurice Cathedral & Tobair Bhrid Virgin and Child, Madonnia of il Duomo and Mary of Sagrada Família and Santiago de Compostela with twin spotlightignighting Mother and Child.

Jesus asked Faustina to paint down the divine mercy image He said & write the words “Jesus I trust in you” A painting of Jesus raising his right hand & touching his heart From his heart paint two ray’s denoting blood & water Dripping Reds of Titian & Tintoretto of Alizarin Crimson for blood & mixture of Titanium Zinc & Cremintz White for water pure.

The Blue Flowers at the Garden of Gethsemane Oh God how could something bad happen in a garden like the Garden of Gethsemane With the innocent angel flowers looking on Shaking & closing with fright in their sepals & petals One sky-Blue Hydrangea flower just fell apart in its petals While another Blue Carnation stood upright like centurion. All the flowers have turned Blue And all the Olives have fallen off the ancient Olive trees in fright. The Garden of Gethsemane is the scene of the agony & the arrest A place of mental & spiritual suffering Where Jesus utters his agonising prayer Abba father remove this cup from me Let me do not what I want but what you want. Gethsemane is also an urban garden At foot of Mount of Olives Where Jesus rose & ascended to heaven & where he wept over Jerusalem. All the flowers have turned Blue thinking of crown of thorns Should have been crown of flowers. After the Last Supper Jesus took a walk in the garden With his three Apostles Peter John & James They fell asleep abandoning Jesus As Jesus recited The Agony in the Garden The first sorrowful mystery of the rosary & his sweat was great drops of blood falling upon the ground in distress & flower fertilisation. All the flowers have turned Blue And all the Olives have fallen off the ancient Olive trees in fright. Many famous artists painted “Agony in the Garden” One was the Italian Giovanni Bellini Another by Andrea Mantegna Also, William Blake Later Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a musical of it.

Madonna Della Strada & Saint Maria De Perpetua Succours I love all the stone churches in Ireland In their arrangement of different sized limestone of cut stone With signature of builder on every corner stone for posterity On entering first, I always admire the stain glass windows If your blessed to the right is an Evie Hone design Of her Rose Window in the Holy Family Church of Ardara County Donegal. Embracing the Old & New Testament the window depicts “The young Christ Among the Doctors” in the shape of a rose with seven panels & images of David playing the harp & Moses with tablets shining in mosaic of colours of rich lush Saint Brigid’s Green Brown’s & earth colours Dark Blues reflecting landscapes of northwest Ireland. To the left or behind the Alter a Harry Clarke stain glass Like in Saint Michael’s church Inchicore on the occasion of my Mother & Fathers anniversary mass depicting “The virgin Mary” and “Jesus pointing to his Sacred Heart” in Blood Red & enlightened radiant healing Blue & gold & Saint Michael with his golden balancing weighing scales. Then on to the sculptural statues where Mary Queen of Heaven usually greets me outside a lot of churches With Saint Bernadette Soubirous knelling facing her Then there is always a Mother and child in front of which I light candles If you’re in Saint Mary’s church on the Claddagh She is there on the same par as the alter Sometimes Mary has six Blue ribbons coming out of her fingers. To my right Saint Martin De Porres is sculpted in thick Grey stone As he is the saint venerated along with Mary at Claddagh Whereas if you’re in Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul in Ennis A place of worship for over one hundred & fifty years above the alter is a fine painting of Jesus & his twelve apostles. Inside the door the right wall is adorned by Santa Maria De Perpetua Succours a painting of the Blessed Virgin cradling Jesus in her arms with archangel Michael & Gabriel appearing above her

I love the names of the different churches in the Burren Like Church of Immaculate Conception in Barefield Where a dove can be seen above entrance in stain glass Glowing in a Renewed White peace. While Tuam is called The Annunciation & on mothering Sunday our Coole choir sing in adoration there “Ave Maria” & “Away in a Manger” and “Healing Light”. I also love Saint Coleman’s in townland of Beagh & Gort As Mary queen of Heaven always greets me in her grotto to the left And on the alter wall it displays the healing Saint Faustina’s Divine Mercy image. I love admiring the different marble alters some clad in Connemara marble My eye always catches in the gold of tabernacle shining especially bright on adoration feasts also use of gold leaf in sacred paintings like cathedral of Saints Peter & Paul of Madonna Della Strada & Saint Maria De Perpetua Succour These paintings always bring us to our kneeling knees asking for graces with our head in a bow of adoration & worship.

Praise for Déirdre Carr’s Poetry and Art If Ireland were to produce the equivalent of a female Kavanagh, Déirdre Carr would be it. Her poetry is as raw and shocking in its womanliness as his (in its masculinity) was, in its day. “My poems are small flames”, she describes herself. She is reminiscent too, in her passionate energy of Paula Meehan. Her daring use of adjectives, her homely imagery and her colloquial ease with local place names and traditional themes. Her titles are artistically confronting, her voices so real they seem to capture life itself while discussing Ireland, oak, turf or cows. She’s at once childlike and quizzical, a Twenty-First Century original and the genuine article. Medbh McGuckian Déirdre Carr is ealaíontóir cruthanta an bhean óg seo go bhfuil a samhlaíocht agus a buanna filíochta ag cur thar maoil. Is fiú go mór tamail den saol crúógach a thógaint agus dul i leataoibh agus obair na mná óige seo a iniúcadh. Tiocfaidh tú thar n-ais agus tú gríosaithe chun breis sástachta a bhaint as an saol agus breith ar an uain ar an urla. Molaim go mór saothar seo Dhéirdre Carr, go h-áirithe as a cumas doimhin samlaíochta. Déirdre Carr is a consummate artist and poet, whose imagination and poetic qualities are overflowing. In the headlong rush of life it’s worth taking time to pause and investigate this young woman’s work. You will come back invigorated by its vitality, its grasp on life. I praise highly the work and poetry of Déirdre Carr, especially her deep imaginative ability. Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill Is deaciar a rá ceard is filíocht ann. Is éascáil i aithint ar an peathanach no ar na cluasa. Braithm go bhfuil an fhéith ag bossadh go láidir sna dánta seo de chuid Déirdre Carr treise léi. I find it difficult to say what makes a good poem. One might assemble all the virtues and still not have a poem. Easier to recognise poetry when you meet it. As I read Déirdre Carr’s poems, I kept saying, yes, yes, yes, that’s it – she has it. Biddy Jenkinson

Déirdre Carr makes colours talk and sing, and makes words shine, dazzle and darken. Her poems range from creations prompted by a sense of fun and play to poems marked by primitive emotional ferocity. Her paintings and Tapestries tell stories and her poems are ablaze with pictures, “signs with animals in them”. Her mind and voice are full of energy, her imagination drives ruthlessly forward, her intelligence is everywhere present. She would be at home at any time and anywhere. She is an instinctive adventurer and her work has an insistent haunting character. As an artist, she is both a challenge and a delight. In other words, she has the courage to be her unique artistic self. Brendan Kennelly Déirdre Carr’s poems in their prayer-like simplicity… keep the chanting memory of song… and should be read in the open air. Carr’s poems are Incantatory like all the best poems. Fred Johnson I admire Déirdre Carr’s poems for their passion and risk. Pat Boran In Déirdre Carr’s poems we encounter the material world in all its solidity and we feel of the forces that shape and disperse that solid stuff, almost as if they had occurred without the intervention of language. It is the same with many of her paintings: the chances that fray and fling, the laws of droop and flex all come into play; the impacts that crumple and pile the layers of our world are experienced head-on. In the poems, words bite, dent and sometimes twist recalcitrant life. Sometimes she handles them like sods of turf she has saved herself, cramming them in as fuel. Sometimes as a painter she delights in a single tone that catches the right light. She has looked again and again at her subjects: turf, bogs, Ireland, memory, women, spirituality and her returns are not felt as obsessive or merely repetitive, but as a response to inexhaustible truths.

Déirdre Carr, poet and painter, turns compulsively to the exploration of mythic archetypes, land, death, love, and identity. The written work sometimes mirrors the visual, and the visual in turn takes on the complexity and rawness of a sensibility that is instinctively poetic. The language of the poems is earthy but accomplished. This work has emerged from some blazing interior smithy unique to the poet herself, it trails flamboyant emblems from her own past – not for the sake of flamboyance or showiness, but because her story is an agitation within consciousness and sub-consciousness. It is like the pearl produced by the grating of a miniscule grain of sand on the flesh of the mussel shell. From agitation, pain, forbearance – this need and this drive to paint widely, to chant – as in the magnificent long poetics of Sarita from Sara-Sara. What is exciting about Carr’s visual work also applies to the written. She seems fearless and uninhibited, her art is a necessity and she knows it. Too many artists, too many writers, falter for want of courage, or because they look around and see the rules, codes, and secret sanctions to which they imagine they must adhere. Not so with Carr. The textures of the paintings linger in the viewer’s imagination. I find them inspirational. I am attracted to these soulscapes – for they are not ‘landscapes’ in any conventional sense of the word. The foreground is sometimes light but always another darkness, cracked and questioning and fragmented, moves in from the edges to dominate the whole. The darkness at the heart of Carr’s work is inviting. It opens up and invites one to enter, to exist with the artist in this soulscape. A poet of the exotic bogs – Monietta and Drinagh – of cow paths and hens and the visceral world, her written work is full of objects; things are named. This is nounal poetry in the extreme, and the more one reads it the more subtle its verbal quality becomes. If the bogs are to be described as exotic, let me emphasise there is nothing gimmicky about this quality. In Carr’s hands this is the world as perceived and rediscovered by her, not for the sake of turning easy tricks, but because she knows her own source and has long recognised what nurtures her as an artist. That an artist of this calibre is working among us on this island is worth rejoicing. I admire her energy, her open fearless excitability, and importantly, her extraordinary, multilayered formal talents. Mary O’Donnell
