Chapbook, Slapering Hol Press
When Alexander and Stefanon scrutinize the variegated surfaces of Romare Beardens art, the intensity of their gazes gives way to speech. In the blues of Reclining Nude, Stefanons speaker discovers I could hear / her holding / her breath. Alexander finds images that transmute into sounds: Flowered dresses. / A womans holler. River or guitar. In the hands of these poets, ekphrasis is an act of inquiry, a mode of poetic transformation as well as cultural analysis. For both, the lacunae inherent in acts of reading and looking are openings for empathy, uncertainty, discourseBarbara Fischer
