Living with a poet for the past 25 years there was always going to be the possibility that our work would converge. 'A Melody of Sorts' is a painting I made for the front cover of a poetry collection of the same title by my husband Jon Plunkett.

​​​

'In a world where authenticity can be increasingly hard to find, Plunkett's work is the real thing. In a world that grows increasingly cold-hearted and acquisitive and self-absorbed, these poems are encompassing, generous, and deeply compassionate.

  Equally importantly, Plunkett writes with such precision and skill that his work can't help but strike a true chord with the reader. Poetry, of course, is as much a species of music as a form of literature, and in this outstanding collection Plunkett consistently hits the right note.'
