An exhibition of art and poetry. For two years I worked with the late Swedish tempera artist, Margareta Persson, on a collaboration on the subject of silence that grew out of our experiences at the Hotel Chevillon, Grez-sur-Loing, France. The collaboration took the final shape of a sequence of conceptualist images titled "Breaking the Silence" and five poems. I read at the opening and was very warmly received by an audience in the region of 200 people. The poems remained on display throughout the exhibition and a recording of them was also played at regular intervals. PN Review 187, May-June 09 features the poems and artwork from Sweden and a brief history of the collaboration.
