A very good poem indeed. Well done, John.

[Andrew Frisardi]

I enjoyed that; it works nicely with the poems on art that John has done. Thanks for posting it, Fliss. And hello, John, if you're looking in.

[John Isbell]

Thank you for the thought, Fliss!
And thank you, Susan, Roger, Andrew - I appreciate the good word.

Cheers,
John

I enjoyed that too - tricky to do Dürer justice, but you did. I enjoyed how the poem was a reflection, in my reading, not just on that painting, but on the idea of painting. The mention of stillness reminded me of Berger.

[John Isbell]

That's very kind of you, Sarah-Jane. I don't recognize the name Berger, but yes, stillness is quite important to me, as perhaps to Durer.

I have another couple coming out with TER in March, on Bosch's Temptation of St Anthony and on Caravaggio's Martyrdom of Peter. I very much value how TER presents each ekphrastic poem alongside the artwork that inspired it. It's a good venue.

Cheers,
John
