Incidental to the evidence
That meaning proves
Like a dough,
That thoughts do reach out
From the page
And claim us, knead
Us into form, rise . . .
-Excerpt from Blind Girl Reading, by Ejnar Nielsen
Through an evocative dialogue with art and life, these ekphrastic poems become a springboard into deeper layers of meaning, possibility, and our rich human capacity for transcendence. Born out of an interplay between image and language, the tensions which can only be resolved by beauty, they invite each one of us to a keen attentiveness to all that's buried underneath the surface of our lives.
