What Sparks Poetry:
Brian Teare on Other Arts
"In exceeding the frame of visual description, ekphrasis in the expanded field refuses to dwell only on the surface experience of visual art — or film or dance or music. Going outside of the frame and beneath the surface, it engages with another art by reconceptualizing and recontextualizing it: in its historical and cultural and subcultural contexts, its critical reception, its making and materials." |

"Saskia Hamilton: One's Own Evidence"
"In her introduction to The Dolphin Letters, Hamilton describes letters as partly being 'one’s own evidence' and, in All Souls, she provides just such evidence of the life of her mind, and does so in the face of impossibility, in the company of years. The result is an act of uncovering and recovery, capable at once of holding the different tenses in unity while remembering, and monumentalizing, as they unfolded, 'the good days ahead, the winter gifts / yet to be gifted.'"
