Reviews

'Offering authoritative and trenchant readings of theoretical and poetic texts, David Kennedy provides a new way of understanding the stakes of ekphrasis.' Jane Hedley, Bryn Mawr College, USA, co-editor of In the Frame: Women's Ekphrastic Poetry from Marianne Moore to Susan Wheeler 'The Ekphrastic Encounter is a story of urgent yet rejuvenating meetings between poets and visual artists. This perceptive and cogent appraisal is a distinguished addition to the literature of ekphrasis. It will contribute greatly to our awareness, understanding and appreciation of how poets continue to breathe contemporary life into this most ancient of traditions.' Stride Magazine
