Madeleine Lee | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Written over the course of a year in response to the National Gallery Singapore’s exhibitions, Madeleine Lee’s volume of ekphrastic poetry enacts the ways in which language may relate to art. Each poem is a vignette of a show; words compose, question and revision the visual in novel forms of their own making. The sum of this interplay between word and image is more expansive than its parts, and speaks to the generative force of intersecting mediums.
