Poet's Picturebook

Editor/Consultant: Marne L. Kilates
Country: Philippines
Type: Online journal
Description: We like to think that when poems and art meet among these (electronic) pages, a new energy is created, in agon or complementation, perhaps the way energy is created in the universe. In this extraordinary encounter, they have a way of re-creating each other in a delight of insights and epiphanies, even if the pictures or words speak of a world that hurts. Or, even if the world, like Auden’s “expensive delicate ship that must have seen something amazing...” in his ekphrasis on Breughel’s Icarus, “had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.” In fact, as this poem indubitably reminds us, it is not art that is indifferent. And it is for the same reason that, as contemporary epic poet Francis Macansantos reminds us, “a poet must never lose faith in poetry.”
