All pages unmarked and uncreased. Bindings firm, spine intact. Otherwise, in good overall condition. Publisher's note: What, in apparently pictorial poetry, do words--can words--represent? Conversely, how can words in a poem be picturable? After decades of reading and thinking about the nature and function of literary representation, Murray Krieger here develops his most systematic theoretical statement out of answers to such questions.

Krieger focuses on ekphrasis--the literary…

Clean, unmarked pages. xvii, 292 pages : illustrations, 24 cm. <br> What, in apparently pictorial poetry, do words, can words, represent? Conversely, how can words in a poem be picturable? After decades of reading and thinking about the nature and function of literary representation, Murray Krieger here develops his most systematic theoretical statement out of answers to such questions. Ekphrasis is his account of the continuing debates over meaning in language from Plato to the present.
