Description

Each piece in this feminist and socially conscious collection of poetry describes a painting or a sculpture: some, a revision of a classic; others, an original work not yet realized.  Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Dali, Botticelli, Monet, and Rodin are among the artists whose work is re-imagined. 

Artists interested in actualizing any of the pieces for exhibit, please contact chris.

Excerpt: Paintings and Sculptures (by (author) chris wind)

sometimes in the morning

on that bare dressing table

in the corner of the bedroom

i can see my heart

hanging

my ruby heart

hanging over    over

                       the

                       edge

bleeding onto the floor

 

The Persistence of Memory

 

_______________________________

 

         strong, solid

                 chin on hand

      right elbow on thigh

left arm across knee

                          leaning forward

breasts filling in the spaces

               between the lines

 

         The Thinker
