Review by Michial Farmer
In the title poem of Cave Art, Charles Hughes’s excellent first collection, he ruminates on the ancient paintings in Lascaux, miraculous surviving the millennia:
Inside the caves,
The painters left, in vain, what more they saw—
Stark, dazzling life that tugged them in and in
And still survives as art and evidence.
