Bakeberg McConnon

This debut book by photographer and poet Orla Bakeberg McConnon is a dazzling tapestry of poetry, photography and affirmations. Life Threads is the culmination of a creative journey the author began in early childhood. Growing up in Ireland, the young artist was overwhelmed by a passion to capture nature’s fleeting beauty. Moving to South Africa, and travelling extensively to countries such as Namibia, Botswana and Kenya, only intensified her creative drive. Life Threads has the mark of an artist who has lived intensely, with the wisdom and beauty of both Ireland and Africa sparkling on the pages.

Underlying everything is a creative energy, something Orla generously invites readers in to share.
