Delft. impressions of a gathering

January 2014

 

Jane Anderson wrote a poem about her impressions of the Writingplace conference. She presented her paper  "Fabrication of the Story Museum" with Colin Priest in the Rescription Session, November 26.

 

Delft

 

Flat white light

Enters from the side

Coating us in a ceramic glaze.

Fifty figures held together in a room, listening

Connected by words -

 

The thoughts on each face sculpted, manifest.

Words are cast, becoming architecture.

 

Looking back at the window I see

It compress the eroded sediments of the world

Until it becomes dense and plate-flat.

  

Jane Anderson, Oxford. January 2014.
