      PAINTING SAN ROMANO

She has written for the Britannia Panopticon’s World War One cine-variety shows charting the four-year centenary of the war through theatre, poetry and song, and has researched and written about the war in her local area of Renfrewshire. Painting San Romano is a series of poems inspired by the work of World War One artists throughout the war and inter-war periods. This is Tracy’s second full-length poetry collection.
