I made this drawing in 1990, posting it here to show how consistent my preoccupations have been as a visual artist and as a poet, looks like the birth of Mama Amazonica from giant waterlilies Victoria amazonica. Pastels, inks, xeroxes, on paper. Someone bought it so I only have photos of it now.

I caught a nasty cold in London, been in bed since Thursday. I live in seclusion here in the remote country, so not used to viruses. It’s broken this evening from flu feeling to head cold. I’ll be fine for my reading on Monday evening on zoom. But apologies, I’m behind on work emails.
