Though I am done, you are my marrow, A leaf. You must be the sign No one wants to listen, A sentinel unmoved by facts, moved only My leaf, my hope. Inviting weary travelers into the cool inn. No one looks at him, by fate. It trembles. Are all the rooms in this house taken? And dogs growl around the old man. This movement is first a murmur, I tremble, it falls. I am weary, He lets everything go on as it will. Then a single beat, then another I sink to my knees, So weary and mortally wounded. He plays and his hurdy-gurdy never stops. then another. Weeping on the grave of my hope. Do you still turn me away you pitiless tavern? Strange old man, shall I go with you? Then a trickle then a stream, a surge, Onward, press onward.

Though I am done, you my heart continue By tomorrow morning all will have vanished. When my heart speaks in my breast to wait. Let your dogs bark and drive me away. I don’t listen. Keeping vigil hearing only silence. Allow me no rest. I sing loudly and merrily. So long with no word, I am finished with all dreams. I sing to drown it out. With nothing, silence, nothing. Why should I linger among slumberers? I do not hear what it tells me, Though I move forward I have no ears.

BAMbill Cover

Roy Lichtenstein was one of the most influential and innovative artists of the second half of the 20th century. He is preeminently identified with Pop Art, a movement he helped originate, and his first fully achieved paintings were based on imagery from comic strips and advertisements and rendered in a style mimicking the crude printing processes of newspaper reproduction. These paintings reinvigorated the American art scene and al- tered the history of modern art. Lichtenstein’s success was matched by his focus and energy, and after his initial triumph in the early 1960s, he went on to create an oeuvre of more than 5,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, murals and other objects celebrated for their wit and invention. —Avis Berman

In 1983, Roy Lichtenstein designed BAM’s inaugural Next Wave Festival poster and journal cover. Now, 35 years later, his widow Dorothy Lichtenstein has generously donated another Roy Lichtenstein print to Roy Lichtenstein serve as the 2018 Next Wave Festival BAMbill cover to honor Joseph V.
