This is a tribute to the late Scottish artist Ian Hamilton Finlay that was inscribed on the wall of the Heart gallery in Edinburgh Scotland. Davenport blends text messages from friends with snatches of Shelley's Hymn to Mercury to produce a work that is both daring and elegiac. The two contrasting forms of English work together to produce a flowing whole. The phrasing of high romance lends gravitas, while the text messages add a sense of contemporary hastiness. This print is stored with Finlay material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Davenport's previous Imaginary Missing People (published Writers Forum 1999) several hundred missing person poster poems bill-posted in Manchester, London, Brighton.
