Ekphrasis.
I beg your pardon?
Writing poetry about art.
An article on this referred to Kevin Young’s “ecstatic” poem about the artist – Jean-Michel Basquiat – so checked that out. Because I like the work of that artist. Also, ecstatic sounds fun. Shouldn’t be a bore.
And then found, even better found this 2 minute delight “Aunties”, describing a whole subculture.
