In this, some of my most recent work, poetic extracts have become much more significant. Here text communicates in a very different way to the printed page. In “Atlantic” the author and subject are the same – me. Here an extract from the poem is transcribed on my back as l face the Atlantic Ocean at a particular time of day at a beach one could image Robinson Crusoe stepping ashore. In this instance the beach is Foul Bay, St Philip, Barbados.
