Wheelbarrow (for Leonard Woolf) 2025 (assemblage with metal strip, seed pods, raincap). The metal came from an ancient wooden wheelbarrow discovered in an overgrown drainage ditch near Monk's House, the longtime home of Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Leonard was an energetic gardener.

New at PublicReverie.com, "Rothko Room" by Monty Reid. These poems are Reid's response to the Rothko paintings at the Tate Modern, nine of which were part of a failed commission for an NYC restaurant.
