When Eileen Egan Mack first stumbled upon “Adirondack Portraits: A Piece of Time,” she thought the book would make a great gift for a friend.
“It was supposed to be a birthday present, but I started reading it and I couldn’t part with it,” said Egan Mack, referring to the collection of Jeanne Robert Foster poems edited by Noel Reidinger-Johnson and published back in 1986.

The Circus by Jack B Yeats.
It is incredible to think that August 2021 is the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jack B Yeats. The renowned painter came into the world at 23 Fitzroy Road, London, the last child of the artist John Butler Yeats and his wife Susan (née Pollexfen).
Jack B Yeats spent his early years moving with his family between London, Dublin and Sligo as his father struggled to establish himself as an artist.
From 1879 to 1887, he lived in Sligo with his maternal grandparents and today, in that town, there exists a sizeable number of pieces of his work at The Model, currently home to a pair of exhibitions of his work.
WB Yeats to be honoured with London sculpture Appeal to support Conrad Shawcross’s Enwrought Light near poet’s Bedford Park home

Enwrought Light by Conrad Shawcross RA, which will honour the Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet just yards from his London childhood home, by the path he walked daily to school, at the gateway to Bedford Park, Chiswick’s 19th-century Bohemian/Utopian artist’s colony.
It’s a surprising fact that the only poet brought up in England to win the Nobel Prize in Literature has no monument anywhere in England – anywhere in the UK in fact.
The 2007 Loan Agreement in relation to the Hugh Lane Bequest between the National Gallery London, Dublin City Council and the then Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht expired on 19 October 2019. (See Appendix for a short note on the history of the Hugh Lane Bequest.)
The Director of the National Gallery, London, Dr Gabriele Finaldi and the Director of the Hugh Lane Gallery (Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery of Modern Art), Dr Barbara Dawson negotiated a new Agreement on behalf of their respective Institutions to replace the previous Loan Agreement. It is intended to release details of the new Agreement to the media early today.
