Ekphrasticon is cultural heritage explored in poetic detail. An impressive collection of poems on art from caves to modern museums. In this book, painting, sculpture and music are celebrated in free verse by the author Ekaterina Dukas, who not only provides us with a detailed study of the works, but also impels the reader on an exciting journey through the inside stories, emotions and quests.
The author contemplates a starry night, listens to a fallen angel, dances with Thracian graces to deliver a spirited experience within this smartly curated exhibition of poetic and plastic art by various authors such as Van Gogh, Picasso, Botticelli, Beethoven and many others.
