Homage to Paul O'Donovan!

Paul O'Donovan passed away on May 8th. We got in touch through the network Interzone, when he started to send me astonishing portraits of William Burroughs. He kept sending illustrations: the ones on Burroughs, Gysin, Interzone and the Beats are gathered in the first tome of The Time of the Naguals - Around Burroughs and Gysin and in the French Tome Le Temps des Naguals - Autour de Burroughs et Gysin .

Many others are in Interzone Galleries : Paul O'DONOVAN: 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71
and in his Facebook page.

He realized the illustration of Interzone Editions: Modified corn dollys' literary circle.

Paul also was a singer and guitar player: you can listen to his live album "The Happy Lands and Elsewhere" and record it.

Farewell, Paul ! See you in the Western Lands.

My deepest sympathy to his love, Elisabeth !

Paul O'Donovan: " Girl From the North Country' ~ Bob Dylan '63 "

'Girl From the North Country' ~ Bob Dylan '63 »
Photograph unknown.
« "Well if you go where the snowflakes storm,
Where the rivers freeze and summer ends.
Please see for me she has a coat so warm,
To keep her from the howling winds."

Paul O'Donovan: new pieces of work in Interzone Galleries

"Before the deluge"

Dedicated to Captain Webb of Dawley, Shrophire; (1st channel swimmer 1875) & subject of John Betjeman's honourable poem. (A Shropshire lad)
"...A lass was singing a hymn,
When Captain Webb the Dawley man,
Captain Webb from Dawley,...
Came swimming along the old canal
That carried the bricks to Lawley.
Swimming along—
Swimming along—
Swimming along from Severn,
Paying a call at Dawley Bank while swimming along to Heaven."
