Van Gogh's Room, a poem by Will Stone
Van Gogh's Room is a short poem by Will Stone, published by The Wolf. The page gives it under the poet's name as a single block of text.
The poem is set in a bare room under a skylight, which the speaker visits with a guide. It pictures Van Gogh coming in each night, sitting on the narrow bed with canvases stacked beneath it, and later bleeding on an afternoon no one noticed. It then turns to the visitors who now climb the winding stair, walk in and out, and go back down. The page gives no issue number or commentary.
