Paperback. In this collection of Ekphrastic verses, the poet reflects on personal identity and agency inspired by pictures that include images of animals by some of the worlds most revered artists. In a sense, every painting is a self-portrait and every painted animal represents a part of the artists own psyche, not least that of the poet himself.From monologues and confessional verse to ironic commentary, these poems will surprise and delight the reader, and the pictures will never be seen again without the verses echoing long in the viewers mind. A collection of Ekphrastic poems by Martin Rieser. These Ekphrastic poems reflect on a series of well-known paintings and photographs which have either a central or an oblique animal theme. The inner stories that the works contain are either teased out or speculatively invented. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
