Strange and Wonderful Creatures

Art and life have a good long chat in this new book by John Palen. Starved of visual stimulation during the Covid shutdown, Palen turned to the work of Pablo Picasso, who pioneered a way of capturing the fluidity, complexity and craziness of being human on this planet. The resulting nine ekphrastic poems on Picasso paintings anchor poems exploring family, work, sex, love, music, and a broken world in need of repair.
