Hi Greg,

Broadly, yes! While much ekphrastic work is inspired by a single piece of art, an ekphrastic poem could also find inspiration in the greater oeuvre of an artist—so long as the poem and its imagery is still informed by that artist’s aesthetics.

Happy writing!

Sean

It really helped me to understand the process of turning imagery into poetry, the seen to the felt.
