Exhibition with Kate Wyatt's beautiful paintings and my poems
In this exhibition, Kate and I juxtapose poetry and visual art, creating a piece of art which celebrates the boundaries between magic and life, colours and words, freedom to imagine and obligation to truthfully represent.
Collaborative poetry
'I aim at you, you aim at me
All for what?
Some sort of victory?
We've all lost some
But even some means no one's won.'
Poetic reading with harp and guitar
This was a public reading in Bratislava, more pictures are at https://www.facebook.com/EleniCay
