The Poetry of Art: Creative and inspiring poems about all forms of art
Audiobook ∙ Fiction ∙ 2022
Art comes in many shapes and sizes and many different forms. And one person’s art is often someone else’s object of derision.
But what we can all agree on is that Art exists, that it’s something perhaps unique to humankind but very definitely evokes a deep reaction whether of ‘wow!’ or ‘what?’
In this volume we take Art as our subject and have it reviewed and explored by other Artists, by Classic Poets.
True Art ignites an individual response or a collective awareness. Our DNA seems to cultivate that. When we engage with Art the results are at times as surprising as they are interesting.
In the words of Keats, Shakespeare, Wharton, Chatterton and very many others Art is seen and understood both as that individual reaction and a collective experience. Art is where it’s at.
