This poem was composed forthe Bob Cobbing/Writers Forum Exhibition at Ceolfrith Sunderland. It becomes a reversal poem (two poems) when viewed from recto and verso. Wikipedia: Saint Ceolfrid (or Ceolfrith) (Pronounced "Chol-frid") (c. 642 "“ 716) was an Anglo-Saxon Christian abbot and saint. He is best known as the warden of Bede from the age of seven until his death in 716. He was the Abbot of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow Abbey, and a major contributor to the project Codex Amiatinus. He died in Burgundy while en route to deliver a copy of the codex to Pope Gregory II in Rome. In this work, however, Houedard refers to the Ceolfrith Gallery in the Sunderland Arts Centre. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
