Ekphrasis<\/a>
\nEkphrasis<\/em>, says its web site, “is a poetry journal looking for well-crafted poems, the main content of which addresses individual works from any artistic genre . . . Acceptable ekphrastic verse transcends mere description: it stands as transformative critical statement, an original gloss on the individual art piece it addresses.”\u00a0 Ekphrasis <\/em>is available by subscription.\u00a0 Submissions are accepted via postal mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
