Signal Violet

Signal Violet Synopsis

In 2017 Martin Peter Kielty decided to abandon his life in Glasgow, Scotland, and move onto a narrowboat on the canals of England and Wales. It took two years to escape the shackles of a media career and city life. Those years were followed by a long period of building a new relationship with the world around him. This anthology of poems and short stories were written during that period, and reflect the flashpast ideas, recurring suspicions and offset observations that led to the creation of The Boozer Cruiser, his current art project. The title Signal Violet is inspired by his narrowboat home.
