The Mary Evans Picture Library is an independent family-owned historical picture library started by Mary Evans in 1964 in Blackheath. She and her husband supplied clippings to publishers and news agencies for decades. The collection is now digitised and available online. Furthermore, the website’s Poems and Pictures blog features poems inspired by images from the collection, alongside the images themselves. Blog curator Gill Stoker contacted me recently, and I was delighted to respond to one of the images she sent my way. You can read “Filing Room” alongside many other interesting Ekphrastic responses online at the Poems and Pictures blog. Read the poem.
