| Alice Neel: The De Vegh Twins, 1975 |
So begins a poem that Jackie Kay wrote after attending the exhibition of Alice Neel's paintings in London last year - one of many quite magical poems in her new collection, Fiere.We are the same; we are identical.We are sitting on the piano stool;our portrait is being painted by Alice Neel.Be yourselves, don't feel obliged to smile.

Wow, they're both wonderful.
Yeah, both the painting and the poem have such presence, they knock your socks off.
