Between Coincidence and Chance, Selected Poems, Richard England

Description

As an architect who writes poetry, the relationship between the two forms of artistic expression has always been Richard England’s particular interest. In the foreword to this collection of poems he investigates the link between the two disciplines; in poetry, the elasticity between words and their silent intervals; in architecture the correlation between the solidity of the construction itself and its intermittent spatial voids.

“Richard England’s poetic oeuvre is also deeply moving in that his precise geometry of words, musical rhythm and mystical insight, act as ‘Occam’s Razor’ by cutting through known space and religning its outward appearance with the unadorned beauty of anametic experience and experiment.” – Daniel Libeskind
