Joseph Stanton, author of this impressive collection of poems, is a masterful practitioner of art-inspired poetry. His commitment to the ekphrastic genre is evident in Stilled Lives-a collection of poems that contains three sequences: poems inspired by American nineteenth-century still-life paintings, poems on the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich, and poems on works by artists of Hawaiʻi.
