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
