Notes » Book: “Outside the Garden”



My sister Jasmine Lamb and I have published a book this summer entitled "Outside the Garden" containing a collection of her poems and paintings of her sleeping and resting that I have made over the past two years. Ordering information is at the bottom of this page.

Still Life

My exhaustion and weakness
have become a study
                               I slip
between sleep and stillness
and Rosy makes small paintings
of my face and my back
rising and falling with breath

I listen and dream

Out there the Eiffel Tower
the Arc de Triomphe
police sirens and city streets

Inside organs are undoing     a bird
in my left lung spreads its wings

my rib cage opens
