This poem dedicated to Tanya Ury’s sister Nini, first saw life as an etching and early student work of the mature artist when she commenced her BA HONS in Fine Art studies in 1984.

The written (and etched) form of the poem is that of a fan. The poem itself is an alliterative meditation on the letter and sound of “f” (and “ph”).
