There was a point at which the analog world was overtaken by the digital, and I was right there, stumbling through puberty from childhood to adolescence.
I can’t resist ekphrasis. So when Gill Stoker of the Mary Evans Picture Gallery sent me a few pictures from the collection and request to (poetically) respond, I gravitated toward a stock image that summed up this formative time.
You can read the poem “1990” on the Gallery’s “Poems and Pictures” blog.
