I’m double chuffed that my ekphrastic poem about Edward Burra’s painting ‘The Snack Bar’ was published today by Veronica Bruce, editor at Anapest Journal in America. I bought a print of the painting in York in 1988 and it was the first piece of art to adorn the walls of my little house there. I am still so fond of the painting and obviously I had plenty of time to think about what to write about it! I hope my poem does justice to the wonderful art of Mr Burra. Here’s the link to Anapest Journal:
