Museum of Words: The Poetics of Ekphrasis from Homer to Ashbery New edition
James A. W. Heffernan
Ekphrasis is the art of describing works of art. Heffernan explores this ambivalent poetry, which simultaneously celebrates the power of the silent image while circumscribing that power with the authority of the word. The canon of this work is known as the 'Museum of Words'.
