 Malvern Hills Landscape, photography by Anthony of Inspired Images (UK). Contemporary. Road Apricot sunrise caught me under a green blanket. It enters as it will with no apology, no blame. If I take the road across the wolds, how long before the fields end and you begin? Is that the sea? I’ll never make that drive, nor you return to me. Laura Cherry Editor's note: The photograph shown is a placeholder image. Laura Cherry's poem was inspired by David Hockney's The Road Across the Wolds (UK, 1997.) We hope you will follow this link to see the painting so that you get the full effect of the poem. Laura Cherry is the author of the collection Haunts (Cooper Dillon Books) and the chapbooks Two White Beds (Minerva Rising) and What We Planted (Providence Athenaeum). She co-edited the anthology Poem, Revised (Marion Street Press).
