Bridport Prize 2014

Visible to anyone in the world

Closing Date; 31st May 2014

Forty lines of poetry is closer to an ode than an epic but in the end I wrote forty in a form of my own devising. When a friend phoned I read the poem to him and realised thanks to his reaction that the last couplet was de trop. I also crossed out the first two lines which, possibly, gave too much away to soon.

            Bussed to Bury S. Edmunds and bought a book, that is recommended reading in preparation for Art Hist. M.A., by the OU

Publisher; Yale University.Press 2009

Author; Harrison, Charles

Title; An Introduction to Art

            The first page of the Introduction raises the question how much do you know about art and why should you bother to discover the reasons for art production. Despite the abstract expressionist ant that crawled into my eye the night before and used my eyeball as a canvas, I've almost finished John White's Art and Architecture In Italy 1250-1400 and plan to read the new book while on hol. in Madeira next week. Doctor gave me some eye drops and told me to go see him again.
