Thinking of Linda Saccoccio’s Art

by Heller Levinson

“Recently, a dear friend and acclaimed poet of "Hinge Theory,” author of several books of poetry, Heller Levinson, composed this wonderful poem based on my work in Greece and the work since that transformative residency. I am grateful and honored for his interest in the evolution of my art, his acknowledging of the shift through the gift of a poem infused with vitality of the paintings as well as a natural quality of his poetry.” - Linda

colour jingle bolero float crisscross merry-go-round,

(go lollypop, go cotton candy)

                                                                                  cousin circumference

                                                                        converse

                                                              coagulate

                                                   coterminous

lissome loose milling glee fields velour nuzzle plush betoken,

                                                                                             Alenςon lace

                                                                                  lush Godiva

cusp-drive

loll-lilt

jumbles exfoliating through the crank of time,

flex-freeing

edge-furring

                                                                                                        delectable

                                                                                                        charmed

the gravity of composure

jollity tumbling
