Ekphrastic Writing
After Allison Collins’ 2002 painting, “Steptoe Butte”
The squares of yellows and oranges like a library—all angles in their
places until an unsuspecting hand…a melding, a greeting of hand
to angle, of that which is fresh and sinewy and pale to the stacks,
a landscape of yellow boxes and orange boxes amid a landscape
of green expanse and lavender above. Who lingers here and who
drives through. Who knows how to mix the rhythm of green—that
undulation of grass not yet harvestable for straw, but plumbing in
nutrients, hay perhaps, grain or crops, those that someone nods to
on his way to the city where cement stacks ride on brick and the
sky turns a pink some nights because of the smog, and it makes him
recall the purity of a lavender sky astride the velvety green of field,
makes him recall the symmetry of these shapes like books on the
shelf of his own body.
Janée J. Baugher
Janée J. Baugher is the author of two ekphrastic poetry collections,
The Body’s Physics and Coördinates of Yes. Her poetry and prose have
been published in Tin House, The Writer’s Chronicle, Boulevard, NANO
