I love the Normal Bissell words. Very emotive. It sounds as if "the space between the light" should be the title of another poem. I really like the Douglas Robertson drawing of the birds. Amazing.

Why do these distinctions seem to matter so much to critics and so little to us as artists? If we're moved by it, we don't feel the need to label it - as your eclectic collections beautifully illustrate Robyn :)Cherry Jeffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314804604605676735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290332160821152086.post-16700291891849652842011-01-27T02:04:52.047-08:002011-01-27T02:04:52.047-08:00I admire these seascapes - can almost hear the cra...I admire these seascapes - can almost hear the crashing of the waves!
