“Description” in Greek. An ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art. Through the imaginative act of narrating and reflecting on the “action” of a painting or sculpture, the poet may amplify and expand its meaning.

Benicia Literary Arts, Benicia First Tuesday Poets and HQ Gallery in Benicia got together for an Ekphrastic exhibition. You can visit the gallery in person and see the art and the poems and prose hanging on the wall through June 2021. The show is also online here [ Ссылка ]
