The ekphrastic poems presented in Artscapes dazzle with vivid imagery and expert wordplay, offering a refreshing and provocative examination of the artwork Lee Woodman has chosen to explore. Inspired by works from major museums, Woodman invites readers to walk into paintings, enter worlds triggered by sculpture, and eavesdrop on conversations with artists. She will take you to a roaring boxing ring in Washington D.C., a cave in Indonesia with forty-thousand-year-old paintings, and a harem’s den in Algiers. All is possible in poetry. A collection to enjoy on repeated visits. ISBN: 978-1-956056-12-9 (print; softcover; perfect bound) 78 pages |

“Lee Woodman’s poems are, in a way, paintings themselves. Their imagery is so vivid that we sometimes feel as if we are there, at the museum or gallery, taking it all in. But the joy of looking is only half of it: her love of language is a pleasure to read. Woodman chooses words with the same precision and delight that one might use to pluck the finest gemstones or candy.” “Lee Woodman brings a poet’s mind and an artist’s eye to this superb collection of ekphrastic poetry. Each poem dazzles with its expert wordplay, injecting new life into a static visual image and expanding the original painting beyond its original frame. Woodman is both a keen observer and expert translator of the visual into the verbal. Artscapes is truly a book to treasure on repeated readings.” |
