Illustrations for ‘The Pool and Other Poems’
‘like the trees that file in silhouette
down to the cliff’s edge
gazing towards the vanishing point
of sea, cloud and haze,
waiting on eternity -
a gathering into blue.’
From At La Musclera
‘ Rainbow hints, affording half-caught
glimpses of a perfect whole..’
from Acrostic for a Newborn Child
‘the lofty Umbrian hill towns, each
endowed with saints’ lives and Annunciations
to catch the breath and cast in pale relief
our hasty cyber-age preoccupations..’
from Requiem for a Spaniel
