This poem (see below) was inspired by the Cornelia Parker exhibition at the re-opening of the City Gallery, Wellington. I loved it. I went on Facebook to wax lyrical and a Facebook friend (Graduate of the Ilam School of Fine Arts) had other ideas. For some time now I’ve been thinking about a poem about my inherited silver cutlery set, and so this tipped me into action. Alas, I am not an expert on WordPress and keeping the shape of a poem as it is intended is tricky, so I ended up printing the poem (in bold, or else it is too pale) and adding the printed pages as images.
