Poetry for the eye
|
There is a tradition of visual artists and poets bouncing off each other's work to make new creations: 'poetry for the eye'. This kind of artistic cross-pollination goes back to the ancient Greeks, where it began as a written description of art. It's called Ekphrasis and is now applied to music, sculpture and literature as well as to art and poetry.
