Pictures as Poems & Other (Re)Visions
What if the poems walk and talk the moment we turn our back?
Are poems pictures or are pictures poems? But aren't poems in themselves already pictures? What if the poems are about pictures? Or paintings, or sculptures? Or music? What if they had a life of their own? What if the poems walk and talk the moment we turn our back, like that movie about the museum? What if the museums are inside us or inside the statues or the pictures?
These are what of the poems in this book are about. Poetry is not so hard. Maybe it speaks to us when we're not looking, when we're not listening. But when we do look or listen, aren't they fascinating? Find out for yourself. Inside the book. Inside yourself. Pictures are poems. Poems are pictures. And they are moving.
