Résumé :
From Turner, Picasso and Keats to the anonymous and little known, from poets to dancers to painters, these poems sweep through mythology and art, gathering inspiration from tiny Sumerian seals of antiquity through to Brancusi's birds and Michelangelo's Pieta.

Both are engaged with as she quests for a woman's language of a lived poetry of both mind and heart.
