Roy Davids

Roy Davids has been a dealer in manuscripts, an auctioneer, a marketing director, a teacher, and a collector of portraits, poetical manuscripts and porcelain. He is fascinated by the osmotic process whereby some poems, perhaps striking or access-ible on early acquaintance, can, like white noise, linger in the imagination as they meld with readers’ own experience, finding other resonances, maybe even working a deeper magic. This can be true of apparently descriptive pieces as ‘listeners’ imperceptibly transfer them into their own landscapes.
