The Clandestine Life of Paintings in Poems

By Robin Gabbert

Did you know that paintings can tell stories? Perhaps you did. But did you know they sometimes

tell secrets as well whispering unexpected confidences and tales to their friends, particularly to poets?

The Clandestine Life of Paintings in Poems is a record of conversations between a group of paintings, images, dreams, and musical compositions and one poet, who listened. In this collection of ekphrastic poetry, the author doesn't "interpret" the paintings and other art so much as reflect on them in different ways, using poetry to make the reader appreciate something new, and often unexpected, in the images.
