Paintings and Sculptures

Each poem in this collection describes a painting or a sculpture: some, a re-vision of a classic; others, an original work not yet realized. Among the artists whose work is re-imagined are Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Dali, Botticelli, Monet, and Rodin. "It has been a long time since I've read a poetry book, but when I came across by Chris Wind, I was hooked. You know that feeling-when you read the first page and you know you're going to like the book? That happened when I read the first poem. ... I loved "Mona" and I could picture the scene; it might have happened that way, we'll never know. Also, "The Last Supper" was brilliantly clever. But my favourite one was "Lady of Justice"-such a fine poem, with a subtle message ... This is for sure a book I'll reread every couple months!" Mesca Elin 5/5 Praise for chris wind's poetry collections a top pick of poetry and very much worth considering." " ... not only dynamic, imaginative verse writing, but extremely intelligent and intuitive insight ..."
