Poetry Page 1962

"Poetry Page" (1962) by Reva Urban is a work on paper that displays a poem in flowing handwritten script. Urban's signature appears in the lower left corner of the page. Though seemingly a simple text piece, the work uses the artist's handwriting as a visual element, drawing the viewer's attention to the poetic words. The subject matter of the poem, with its imagery of nature, grief, and passion, highlights the emotional power of language and the intimate experience of reading and writing poetry.
