Double Vision II Mike Angelotti

In this, my new color edition (October, 2016) of Double Vision II: Living A Poet's Life in Paint, Photo and Word, I offer fresh paintings plus new and revised narrative poems in paint, photo and word, abstract and conventional, of art and making art, of seeing and feeling human nature, of time and place, of real people in shadow and light, broken and bold, doubling down to make life work - a vet wrapped in an army blanket pleading for help on the Supreme Court building steps, a tearful woman walking the Seattle mist begging for travel money to Idaho, a grieving son discovering his father as a man more than his father, a Florida beach jogger finding mermaids sweeping the passageways of Carthage and Rome in crumbling wave washed sand castles, proud Anasazi women holding history in tight fists, Georgia O'Keeffe on her back to paint over and over The DH Lawrence Tree until she gets it right - all of us, carrying hope and determination, following the path of the hungry wolf, hearing the lament of a distant crow, touching the ancient eye of an Oklahoma water oak in search of the mysteries of our own histories. Also available on Amazon is my original black and white edition of Double Vision II: Narrative Poetry With and Without Words, in Kindle and Paperback - Mike Angelotti
