Today I’m reading and re-reading ekphrastic poems by Sara Biggs Chaney at The Boiler. They’re based on the photographs of Katerina Plotnikova, who uses live animals and striking color in her photographs — they’re very evocative. So, too, are Sara’s poems.
From “II. Brown Bear“:
I smell my death on your belly
and I do not flinch.Your face a cannon
on the hinge of my neck
