'Death, you’re vain; incurable'



This month, TATE ETC. in collaboration with Eggbox Publishing brings you Vahni Capildeo's poem 'Death' based on J M W Turner's work Death on a Pale Horse
Is this really you? Riding for a fall? The cataloguers are unsure it’s not just some other
horseman — I want it to be really you. So long as I can tell rose from fire, love from
sickness, word from dust. I am tender of you.
READ full poem at Tate website here.  CHECK out more on Vahni Capildeo here and on the publishers of her latest book here.
