Latest
up from Spoken Label (Author / Poetry Podcast) features the return of our
friend, Kate Wilson talking about her new poetry collection 'The Impossibility
of Love'.
‘The
Impossibility of Love’ it is stated takes the reader on a journey through a
gallery of Vincent Van Gogh’s best loved paintings. The poems in this
collection draw inspiration from Van Gogh’s works of art, reflecting on themes
of love, loss, and memory.
This
ekphrastic sequence evokes the blistering colour of Van Gogh’s work in
wheatfields, on moonlit plazas, and under starry skies. In this landscape the
poet finds hope and a potency of feeling which often borders on destructive.
The paintings become both a means
of
escape and a way of deriving meaning as they intersect with the poet’s own
experience.
Writing
to Van Gogh with great tenderness, Wilson presents the reader with a collection
which can be read as an extended love letter to one of our greatest artists.
She
explores the tragic story of his life, posing the question: what does it mean
to live with such intensity?
