I am a poet, not a sculptor or a painter. But I have learned from the language of sculpture and painting how to be a better poet. Many years ago, I had the great fortune to walk among the forms that Barbara Hepworth sculpted and cast in bronze in Cornwall, England. In her sculpture garden and studio, I saw open forms, forms in movement, and two forms that captured my imagination and would not let go. Hepworth called this work “Two Forms in Echelon.” I took away notes, postcards, and a book. I photographed my walk in detail and somewhere those Kodachrome slides are languishing in a box. But the poem I knew I wanted to write would not come forth with all the material so raw. This was 1983.-
