Reliefs: Biographical ekphrasis and the Queer artist
View through CrossRef
Situated in the field of creative writing, this project identifies and conceptualises biographical ekphrasis: an emergent subgenre of ekphrasis in which poets respond to both a work of art and to the biography of the artist who created it. This thesis comprises an exegesis, which interrogates the complex relationships between artwork, artist, poet, and audience, and a collection of poems, Reliefs, which won the Thomas Shapcott Prize. Through practice-led research, this project elucidates both biographical ekphrasis’s unique amalgam of fact and fiction and its particular temporal complexities, and reveals a mode capable of a capacious and protean reckoning with history.
