Description

This scholarly examination by David Kennedy explores how contemporary British poets challenge traditional critical models of ekphrasis through innovative approaches to art-inspired verse. Kennedy argues that poets working across mainstream and avant-garde traditions create works far more nuanced than simple representational or counter-representational responses to gallery paintings. Even apparently straightforward representational poems often prove selectively constructed, generating 'virtual' artworks that exist only in language. Through analysis of poets including Kelvin Corcoran, Peter Hughes, and Gillian Clarke, Kennedy demonstrates how ekphrastic poetry transcends conventional boundaries between visual and textual interpretation, offering fresh perspectives on how literature engages with visual culture.
