D.C. Ekphrastic: Crisis of Faith

By Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt M Ed and Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt

It's everything you don't talk about at the dinner table - religion, politics, love gone wrong. In this eclectic collection of accessible, thought-provoking poetry, award winning poet and author Katherine Gotthardt asks the painful questions that have plagued society for centuries, exposing the doubt surrounding the human experience, doubt often unexpressed. But she makes it personal, skillfully breathing life into persona through the power of astute observation, putting words in the mouth of evocative street photography by Ethan Meurlin. Together, they form the ekphrastic, the timeless practice of creating literary art from the visual. D.C. Ekphrastic: Crisis of Faith may leave the reader with more questions than answers, uncovering the kind of uncertainty that necessitates further exploration. But if it is the artist's job to encourage people to think beyond themselves, Gotthardt and Meurlin have succeeded.
