the problem is the shower curtain. it’s defective. it bellows inward toward the running shower. it has phosphorescent pockets that fill with water…

A late-night #poem for you, resurrected from an old journal and some deep dark memories.
"Inverted, comfortable
nightmare, I know you best
through absence..."

So long as that woman from the Rijksmuseum
in painted quiet and concentration
keeps pouring milk day after day
from the pitcher to the bowl
the World hasn't earned
the world's end.
-Wisława Szymborska, "Vermeer"
trans. Clare Cavanagh
[Johannes Vermeer, The Milkmaid” 1657, seen at the @rijksmuseum]

fragile steel facade -
insecurity corrodes;
outward-facing cage.

On December 23 (or 24) 562, #HagiaSophia is re-dedicated after the dome's reconstruction, and Paul the Silentiary composes an #ekphrasis in 1029 verses in iambic trimeter and dactylic hexameter praising the beauties of the building. #Byzantine #ArtHistory #Rome http://projects.mcah.columbia.edu/medieval-architecture/htm/or/ma_or_gloss_essay_paul.htm

"Yet who, even in the thundering strains of #Homer, shall sing the marble meadows gathered upon the mighty walls and spreading pavement of the lofty church? Mining [tools of] toothed steel have cut these from the green flanks of Carystus and have cleft the speckled Phrygian stone, sometimes rosy mixed with white, sometimes gleaming with purple and silver flowers." #Byzantine #ArtHistory #ekphrasis #HagiaSophia 2/3

Hello fellow mastodonians. I'm an art historian teaching at a small liberal arts college. My interests include #ancient #greek #roman #Byzantine and #islamic #art. My research focuses on text and image relationships in #byzantium, including #ekphrasis, #epigrams, and #epigraphy. I'm working on a book on middle Byzantine #relics and #reliquaries through the lens of #inscriptions. #introduction #arthistory

Ekphrasis is not only to compose a text inspired by the artwork itself, but also to be carried off by the uncontainable surge of memory and affect, judgment and speculation.

quiet night think
Thinking today about classical myth as #ekphrasis...poems after poems after paintings after poems...
@AndrewPDay Great picture. It made me write a poem called, of course, #Mosstodon

You never know where poems come from, which is why what seemed like a wasted day of scrolling through endless art pics was not wasted at all. I kept going back to one, drawn by its shape & fooled myself into writing a poem by pretending to write prose. Today I think it’s a poem! #poetry #amwriting #ekphrasis
