Description for Who Seemed Alive & Altogether Real Paperback. Series: The Emma Press Picks. Num Pages: 36 pages, 10 black and white line illustrations. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 178 x 110. .
Padraig Regan’s poems delight in the sensual and the visual: this pamphlet is alive with the textures of paint, sweat, sugar and overripe fruit. Regan riffs on art history in a way which is playful and inquisitive – Johann Zoffany drinks mojitos with David Hockney; Caravaggio outrages and compels; Queen Elizabeth I is effortfully glorious. Many poems focus on the representation of the human body, discovering alternative histories in responses to paintings where the gaze of the male artist is directed towards the male figure in queerly erotic ways.

Reviews for Who Seemed Alive & Altogether Real
It’s fun when a poet’s having fun. Especially exuberant, controlled fun. And that’s exactly how this pamphlet strikes me. A virtuoso sharing his art, and his enjoyment of it.
