In Art and Poetry: Sight and Insight, Judith Coxe gathered an intensely personal collection of poems: vignettes painted in words and pictures, spanning her lifetime as artist, poet, performer, scholar and teacher, wife and mother.
From childhood, she was engaged in the arts, painting, theatre and poetry; always seeking a startling cuckoo of a poem and always crafting her work with the sensibilities of an artist making sense of her life.
Between these pages, as in her life, art and poetry are inseparable. She shares her life, her loves, her discoveries - artworks and artists, singers, authors, beloved places and people - and how they made her feel.
46 poems, in four sections: Dramatic Monologues, Through an Artist's Eye, Sight and Insight, and Gathering Rosebuds; each one will bring you closer to the world of Judith Coxe, artist and poet.
With First Light, the reader joins her in one of her earliest memories, as a four-year-old in a row boat with her father, plunging into clear waters - and much later, immersed in sadness at his bedside, in Goodbye.
Whether pondering Pelicans or Terns, looking for Blue on the Brush, wandering the desert of Sedona, Arizona, or the beaches of Virgin Gorda or Vancouver Island, (her favorite vacation spots) she takes us along in quiet moments of contemplation of the sweep of tide, sand, sun-and time.
Her final line, We'll leave them all to lust in Peace.
