Trumpet on a Clear Day – charts how artists communicate with one another across generations, providing inspiration and solace through their works.

Each poem explores an artist – be they painter, architect or musician –  and the life of their creative process; from the solitude of Agnes Martin to the tumultuous love of Georgia O’Keeffe.

Through poems of precise lyricism and crystalline structure, Trumpet on a Clear Day takes readers on a journey of contemplation, passion, grief and ultimately joy.
