Visual Verse: Illustrated Poems of Nature, Science, History and Life

By Tom Despard

Revival of an Ancient Art

Ekphrasis is Greek for "speak out" and came to refer to a detailed description of a work of art as does ekphrastic poetry today. Visual Verse is a fresh and unique approach to this concept with a variety of 47 illustrations, especially paintings and photographs, combined with a related poem.

This is Tom Despard's fifth collection, but his first one with an illustration for each poem. Feel and think more and enjoy and learn more from these double-sensory presentations on nature, science, history and life.
