Barry McCarthy: Paint and Poetry

Periodically, the Burlington Art Council invites local poets to write about the works of a featured artist. Then, at a reception for the artist, the poets read their work aloud. Generally, much to the delight of the artist. The three entries below are poems I wrote on the artwork of Barry McCarthy. I have referenced a website selling his work under my fave links.
About his work, The Cot. I related strongly to this piece, because my grandfather slept on such a cot in his basement, and I imagined as the occupant in the study.
