Norman Ogue Mustill (1931-2013), longtime friend and collaborator, was a little-known master collagist.
His collage is from Flypaper, originally published by Beach Books, Texts and Documents, and is not intended to illustrate the deformed sonnet (which owes a debt to Evelyn Waugh). Nor is my sonnet meant as commentary on the collage. The juxtaposition was determined by chance. The dialogue between them simply honors a friendship.
Nonetheless ,a perfect complement. When’s the forthcoming coming forth?
