The Instruments of Art uses poetry to explore the lives and works of Edvard Munch, Vincent Van Gogh and others, the personal sacrifice involved, the singular vision and inspiration that set them in motion. God's creation, some argue, is a work of art and Christ's life and death an expression of it. Deane follows this thread in a series of sonnets based on the Stations of the Cross.
