BIRD ON A WIRE
POETRY ANTHOLOGY
Poems by Mark Muller drawings by Diana Page
In the deadline driven rush to record the world’s madness in the soldiers of numbers, places, acts and protocols, you can forget that loss, existential uncertainty, fear or outrage, is also the crucible for sublimation into a sculpture, a play of colour and light, or a song that strikes to the core.
Mark's words step out of line as he works light, shade, lines and connections. Diana’s airy, spacious compositions bring in line and colour that aren’t just a match, but a living conversation with these well crafted poems. A luminescent odyssey of places, people and ideas ‘Bird on a Wire’ is a rebellion against despair or complacency, and a beautiful gift to the world by two people who enrich it by loving and living in it.
