Selected 'wretings', meditations, outbursts, decrees and diversions.

A Barry Brickell Reader illuminates not the pottery Barry Brickell is known for, but another facet of his genius: his ‘wrertings’. Reflecting the extrusions, bulges, crevasses and bobbles, his poetry — like his pots — can be mildly offensive, but they contain the same virtues Barry associated with rail travel: sensuality, rhythm, vibration and warmth.

Here, Barry’s great creative output is laid out expansively, accompanied by a photo essay of Barry doing what he did best: working.
