Inhaltsangabe

In this collection of Ekphrastic verses, the poet reflects on personal identity and agency inspired by pictures that include images of animals by some of the world’s most revered artists. In a sense, every painting is a self-portrait and every painted animal represents a part of the artist’s own psyche, not least that of the poet himself.

From monologues and confessional verse to ironic commentary, these poems will surprise and delight the reader, and the pictures will never be seen again without the verses echoing long in the viewer’s mind.
