Description: Ensnaring the Moment: On the intersection of poetry and photography is an anthology of poems from the late 19th-century to the present that reckon with the staggering impact of photographs on our individual and collective consciousness. This first-of-its-kind collection features the work of over 100 poets, including Elizabeth Bishop, Victoria Chang, Lucille Clifton, Nikky Finney, Jack Gilbert, Terrance Hayes, Maxine Kumin, Philip Levine, Ada Limón, W. S. Merwin, Sharon Olds, Adrienne Rich, Wisława Szymborska, James Tate and Ocean Vuong. These poems expand the tradition of ekphrastic poetry, while also serving as unfettered acts of criticism and lyric forays into photo theory. Addressing family pictures, news images, found photographs and more, each poem offers a verbal portal to the visual, where the visual itself is a portal to the past, to an unrecognized facet of the familiar, to the other and to the self.

An introductory essay by Leah Ollman explores the affinities between photography and poetry, their common impulses to compress time, distill experience, mine memory, engage the fleeting moment and bear witness.

Hi, we appreciate your patience as we work through the tremendous backlog. The website you provided doesn't show the ISBN. We need a webpage showing the ISBN/ASIN and other book data to validate the info and if available we need it for the cover image. It should be non-bookseller site (Amazon & AbeBooks excepted), so from the publisher, library or another acceptable site: https://help.goodreads.com/s/article/..., if you have the book, we can use a scan/photo of your copy for the cover and the page with the publication information (you can upload a scan/photo of your own to the "more photos..." section of your profile (https://www.goodreads.com/photo/new) in the browser, not the app), then copy the link here and a librarian can add it. Make sure you state the source of the photo in the text and that your account settings are public (not private).
