EKPHRASTIC POETRY
EKPHRASTIC POETRY
Here's a definition of ekphrasis.
Ekphrasis (n.): Writing that comments upon another art form.
An example would be a poem about a photograph or a famous painting. Ode on a Grecian Urn by John Keats is a prime example of this type of writing, since the entire poem concerns the appearance and meaning of an ancient piece of pottery.
Ode on a Grecian Urn is readily available in poetry collections. Since it is lengthy (5 stanzas of 10 lines each), it is not copied here.
