Poetry of the Shadows
By Allan Gorman | March 2, 2021
A new recent painting envisioning our isolation during the time of Covid. This one evokes the poetics of light and dark, a good metaphor, I think, for our experience of the pandemic.
Strong light calls attention
to the mysteries in its opposite.
Just now, before it’s not.
