The Arts: General & Reference; Poetry

'Paintings trawl time like nets, catching what

stories they can, and ruins are the ground

you walk.'

These prose poems take the reader through a gallery of European art, notionally situated in Rome, but only fully constituted in these pages. These works explore modes of representation and the eddying connections between language and visual imagery. They explore human history and culture, and history's connections to the present. Although this book is made of words, it will conduct you on an unforgettable gallery tour.

Reviews for Gallery of Antique Art

'In Gallery of Antique Art, the gure of the poet and artist intermingle in a coruscating contemplation of aesthetic beauty and illumination. In the gallery's hush, Hetherington whispers postromantic utterances of art's shifting subjectivities and it is mesmerising.' CASSANDRA ATHERTON 'These poems are not only visual, but sensuous on all fronts, enabling readers to wander, at their leisure, through a startlingly realised tour of artistic practice. Poetic reflections form before our eyes as if they were our own. ' PAUL MUNDEN
