The Grace of Gazing Inward

Poems in Response to the Art of Alice Carpenter ‍ ‍

This transcendent collection of ekphrastic poetry by poet, Chuck Salmons, is based on the monotypes of Alice Carpenter.

Carpenter states, “Maybe the most rewarding part of my work is what the viewer brings to it, interpreting image through individual experiences. Through this selection of dazzling, thought-provoking poems, Chuck shares with us a gift of beautiful fragility.”
