IMPROVISATION# 233
EDWIN DICKINSON'S HOUR
(1891-1978)

Whether in Seneca
 or in Provincetown
  your source of inspiration
  of quickly painted
    enigmatic
landscapes which
  Edwin Dickinson called
"Premier Coups"
 or still life self portraits
or abstract art,
a shade and shadow nudes
inspired by Milton's "Lycidas:
or Thomas Hardy's
 "Anniversary"
     or from El Greco
whether surrealism or
 in monochrome done for us
with a field of color unresolved
as in the "Fossil Hunters"
you were not far from home
there was genius involved.
