handiwork

Sara Baume’s latest work, Handiwork, is a contemplative short narrative that explores the daily process of making and writing. The acclaimed writer charts her journey as an artist, delving into what it means to create and live as an artist. The book is a beautiful piece of prose, encompassing vivid images and is itself a significant artifact.

Handiwork is a love-child of Baume’s art and writing practices, or a by-product of novels past and coming. It is about the connection between handicraft and bird migration, as well as simply the account of a year spent making hundreds of small, painted objects in an isolated house.

Baume has described Handiwork as her third book with Tramp Press, and she is thrilled that they continue to support her endeavors. Her fans can expect the same beautiful prose and extraordinary versatility that they have come to love from Baume’s previous works.

Published on March 26th, 2020, Handiwork offers a glimpse into the process of one of Ireland’s best writers. It is a must-read for anyone interested in art, writing, and the creative process.
