Trace Lines David Bryson

A striking parallel - Poems & Images in conversation



This wonderful book is a celebration of words and images. Combining poetry and abstract images, David Bryson and Lindi Forde explore the trace lines we leave in our individual and collective lives.



"On a first reading, the images appear to add a layer of meaning to the words, but the poems are as much of an illumination of the images." Annarosa Berman



"Lindi's images work as a perfect parallel, their delicacy, sense of texture and subtle colour seeming to echo the linguistic subtlety and thoughtfulness of the poetry." John Holt



"Words and visual images combine to create a greater music: sometimes in counterpoint, at others in harmony, the juxtaposition of one with the other elucidating both." Roger Averill



"This is a book for quiet, uninterrupted times, when the soul needs silence, and colour, and the brain, worthwhile work." Robert Gribben



"This is a collection for reflective moments." Neil Tucker



"Words and images have always been such worthy companions. These pages recall an intimate exchange of love and admiration of love for each other, as well as a collaboration of art and literature." Bruno Leti
