Description
Poetry. "Allison Blevins' ekphrastic poems pay homage to Joan Mitchell, the mid-century American Abstract Expressionist painter. Individually the poems in LETTERS TO JOAN evoke a rich and complex world; together they sing celebrations and dirges of womanhood. LETTERS TO JOAN is a stunning chapbook."—Julie R. Enszer
