about

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Poetry Podcast) features the return of our friend, Kate Wilson talking about her new poetry collection 'The Impossibility of Love'.

‘The Impossibility of Love’ it is stated takes the reader on a journey through a gallery of Vincent Van Gogh’s best loved paintings. The poems in this collection draw inspiration from Van Gogh’s works of art, reflecting on themes of love, loss, and memory.

This ekphrastic sequence evokes the blistering colour of Van Gogh’s work in wheatfields, on moonlit plazas, and under starry skies. In this landscape the poet finds hope and a potency of feeling which often borders on destructive. The paintings become both a means
of escape and a way of deriving meaning as they intersect with the poet’s own experience.

Writing to Van Gogh with great tenderness, Wilson presents the reader with a collection which can be read as an extended love letter to one of our greatest artists.

She explores the tragic story of his life, posing the question: what does it mean to live with such intensity?

The collection has being published by Bosporus Press but copies can be purchased from Kate directly at www.katejwilson.co.uk
