The following 3 poems fall into the poetic category of Ecphrasis
(or directly transliterated "ekphrasis").
Ecphrasis is a term used by classicists and art historians to indicate that the poem is inspired into being by the descriptive or interpretive desire on the part of writers to relate to or interact with a work of art (usually but not exclusively paintings) in poetic form. In ICARUS and ICARA,
for example, both writers were inspired by
works of sculpture that in themselves
already relate back to the written form of
myth.
