Paragones
In Paragones, my second full-length collection of poetry, I offer readers poems that respond to works of art by female-identifying artists. Moving beyond the ekphrastic tradition which centers on a descriptive account of an object, my poems include formal, historical, and personal responses to a variety of individual works. Paragones is a work in progress, begun when I was in residence on Governors Island through the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's COVID-19 Response Residency. While there, I had the good luck to be in residence with an amazing number of artists and writers. As poems from the series are published, I'm sharing them here. You can see some of the images of the work and lives that have inspired these poems by following this IG: Paragones
