This book originates from Bokvennen Litterær Avis’ ekphrasis series, developed in collaboration with the National Museum. Over the course of two years, poets wrote new texts in response to works from the museum’s collection. The result is a compilation that shows how poetry and art can open each other up and create new perspectives on the present.
