Jude Cowan Montague

About

Jude Cowan Montague is an artist. Since 2014 she has run 'The News Agents', the Saturday afternoon news-arts hybrid show for Resonance FM.

She is an award-winning printmaker and published poet. Having worked at Reuters Television News for ten years she reinterprets international stories in poetry.

For the Messengers (Donut Press, 2011) is dedicated to Fadel Shana the Reuters photojournalist who tragically lost his life newsgathering in his home country of Gaza.

The poems look at Reuters news stories from 2008 including a tribute to Fadel, and various other feeds from the controversy of animal shelters in Iran to the opening ceremony of the Olympics in China.

"Jude Cowan has gone where I've never seen a jobbing journalist tread before. This is news observed with so discerning an eye that marvellous detail emerges within the poetry. Read her book. We are the richer for it." Jon Snow, Channel 4 News

"Unlike the daily news that fades from view, Jude Cowan's images linger in the memory. She creates poetry which finds the humanity amid the horror of our times. Her work is outstanding." Bill Neely, International Editor, ITN News
