Poul Webb is a painter and printmaker and has held sixteen one-man exhibitions in Mayfair, London. He has been represented in many international exhibitions including at the Museum of Modern Art, Rijeka, the Museum of Fine Arts, Bilbao and is represented in the H.M Government Art Collection.
Poul has had two previous collections of poetry published.

This is Poul Webb’s third collection of poems. An artist as well as  a  writer, he has an  observant  eye for the everyday as well as the exotic.  A  pathway becomes ‘like a grey zipper across the glistening  grass’  in  an  urban  park,  a bridge is ‘lifted from a Japanese print ... silvered  and  striated with  age..’ and there is ‘Plankiness’  in the sound of feet upon it. Whether he writes of city coffee shops and their  clientele or the beauty of mountains in north Africa and the daily grind of the people living there, these are highly crafted, often lyrical poems.  Always aware of the fourth dimension, the poet also takes us to visit  the  recent past, where Warhol may be encountered on the  sixth floor of an office block, and to the chip shop of his  youth.  And meetings and partings are gently remembered  and, in the later poems, anticipated.
