I'm delighted that the newly published 2nd edition of Gerda Stevenson's "Quines" bears an image of my painting "Lover's Eye" on the front cover. 
Quines:  Poems in tribute to women of Scotland is a beautiful collection.  I heard Gerda reading "The Abdication of Mary Queen of Scots" on Women's hour in March 2018.  It made such an impression on me that it inspired me to paint "Lover's Eye" which featured in my 2018 show with Arusha Gallery, "Linger Awhile", an exhibiton inspired by the life of Mary Queen of Scots.
Quines is published by Luath Press.
