- So happy to have this poem up on After... Poetry, for a few reasons: More than any other art I've seen in recent years, Auerbach's charcoal heads have stayed with me. I'm pretty sure it was either the first or second ekphrastic poem I wrote (really should do more). I've waited a year for this!
- What to do with scraps of light found in our battle with life's darkness. Victoria Spires makes this #ekphrastic poem from a Frank Auerbach drawing. 'Suggestible of something rending, something Far from abstract – the exquisite flash Of pain, as private teleology.' afterpoetry.com/poem/dec-04-...
