A Communion of Breath

By Derek Harper

Artistic inspiration is elusive. Yet, confronted with an exhibition of artistic works, you see it staring back at you as interpreted by another person. Harper's poems are often ekphrastic musings on visual art, sculpture and space: he crafts his own works as a response. An urbane traveller, he also finds inspiration in the small details of life abroad: losing himself and re-appearing in another situation with fresh eyes. Harper's elegant poems take a sideways look at the familiar view, with an ear for language - speech is important for nuance, in conversations one never expected.
