"In An Artist's Model and Other Poems, " preferring to portray
his model-a woman with whom he has fallen in love-in words rather
than in paint, author David J. Murray off ers an extended hymn of
praise to her, expressing unresolved yearning throughout.
Following a prologue setting the scene, he presents her with
four gifts, each consisting of a set of twelve poems. Th e fi rst
set of poems describes what it's like spending Christmas without
her; the second set of poems compares her to the Greek goddess
Athena; the third set of poems likens her to a ballerina; and the
fourth set of poems, written in summer, compares her to the beauty
of the season.
Between each set are entr'actes consisting of several poems that
comment on the complexities of their situation. Th e collection
ends with an epilogue that recalls the mood of the prologue.
Reflecting the conflict between Murray's emotions and his sense of
propriety with regard to his model," An Artist's Model and Other
Poems" presents a cycle of poems that are unabashedly of the
high-fl ung romantic genre.
