I'm almost envious that anyone could have been on the poetry scene for the
last 3 or 4 years and escaped Ekphrastic allusions - it's just everywhere.
David Kennedy has written a big book on the subject (but he was by no means
the instigator of the current Ek-rave) - although to be fair it's an
academic book by Ashgate with the usual eye-watering price tag: The
Ekphrastic Encounter in Contemporary British Poetry & Elsewhere (for 53
squid it's yours) and it comes in a Kindle. David also organised a big
conference in Hull a couple of weeks back on the very same subject. Phil
Davenport is also deeply into this subject. Still doing the bathroom so
must disappear back up a ladder now (touch dry in 5 hours -bah - yer 'aving
a larf).
