A slow reply but here I am. The poem was created as part of an Ekphrastic Module in an MA course in Poetry at QUB Belfast. I studied it for ages and decided to write a poem called "Opera", which is what the scene evoked in my mind, and to slash it up like i had skated over the painting itself, to let words into it - to speak something of it. I wanted to see if I could add a dynamic element like the experience of skating itself. The idea of visual poetry surfaced in me and I am on a journey with it. Large print, scalpel, glue stick, a few cuts and lots of words! Thank you.
Marvelous to hear from you, Mr. Reid. If interested, please see my writer profile at POETS & WRITERS http://www.pw.org/directory/writers/carole_mertz
