A Thousand Words: Art Through A Poet's Eyes

By Joe Stout

What is the first thing you see when you look at a piece of art? Is it the colors? the style? the content?

Do you ever wonder if others view the art the same way you do? Do you wonder how other artists look at art?

Now you can find out.

In his latest collection, poet Joe Stout examines twenty-four pieces of art and records his thoughts as poems. This collection, "A Thousand Words," explores art's inherent magic and the reactions it can inspire. As you look at the chosen pieces through the eyes of a poet, you'll come to appreciate them even more, and maybe even notice a few things you might have missed.
