Produktbeschreibung
Sorority of Stillness: A Gallery of Women in Art is a collection of ekphrastic poems that imaginatively enter into conversation with paintings and sculptures of girls and women. These poems consider the ways that art celebrates women and how that is expressed differently by artists of different genders and cultures. Questions of oppression and freedom are raised here, as are the ways that art leads us into spiritual questions. "Many excellent poems have emerged from the current intense interest in ekphrastic poetry, but I would argue that few, if any, poets have imbued this species of poem with as much native force and feeling, to say nothing of intellectual acuity, as has Judith Sornberger." (Clif Mason)
