About the Book

My Own Places: Poems on John Constable is a collection of 57 poems from prominent Saskatchewan writer Don Kerr, inspired by renowned landscape painter John Constable (1776-1837). The poems vary from short, imagistic lyrics to longer narratives, for a multi-perspective look at the painter and his work. Incorporating colour photographs, Constable’s own letters, and descriptions of the painter from other historical material, Kerr constructs a close reading of landscape painting that engages literary imagination with visual art, for a unique portrait of this world-famous artist.
