"Consider The Orange (After a Lithograph By Marguerite Gager)" , a poem inspired by my mother's art, published in North of Oxford.

 

Lithograph by Marguerite Gager, 1988

    My mother was a lifelong artist. When she passed in 2019, many of her prints, paintings, and photographs were distributed to my sisters and brother. There were a lot. We did a multi-round draft where we took turns picking our favorites. 

    The work inspired a poem which appears in the October issue of North of Oxford. 

    Give it and the rest of the issue a read. 

    The print above, which I don't know whose house it ended up in, and like much of her work, I loved it. The title, which I cannot read, is on the bottom left. Maybe one of my siblings, the one who owns it can tell me?
