Glasheen, Anne-Marie

Anne-Marie Glasheen: photographic artist, poet and literary translator; Belgian father, English mother. I have translated fiction, non-fiction, plays, poetry and art history books. I have coordinated cultural exchange programmes and festivals, given public readings, lectures, broadcasts, run workshops and written articles. My poetry has been published in the UK and abroad. Hailing from a literary background, In 2002 I felt the need to find expression in a new vocabulary that did not necessarily have recourse to language as such. Always a keen photographer, the digital camera and computer allow me to translate the reality of the captured image into the unreality or ‘surreality’ of the manipulated image. Many of these ‘visions’ are inextricably linked in subject and form to the themes and symbology at the heart of my poetry. I regard my images as ‘visual poems’ and often combine images and words (in English and French, to reflect my dual heritage) when creating my photographic montages.
