Ekphrasm: Poems on French Painters, Paintings, and Natures - Paperback

by Jessica Schneider (Author)

This is a collection mostly on French painters and their work. Mostly. There is a character who appears herein, named Landon. At times, he mentions others, and at times, not. I noticed a theme only afterwards, wherein most, if not all, subjects were at one time overlooked or rejected.

Some surprises might appear, including a reference to Wallace Stevens who, at the end of his poem, "Debris of Life and Mind" advises, "Stay here. Speak of familiar things a while."
