This May, Lorraine Mariner presents her poem, Hesitate, based on Bridget Riley’s work of the same name. This work is currently on display in Tate Liverpool and other works by the
same author can be viewed on the Tate Collection online.
Hesitate
Don't let those blackFull-stops get the better
of what you've got
Cut yourself some slack,
give yourself some shades
of grey
on a wave
that might just take you
beyond the end of the line.
