MY DEAD by John Brantingham & Jane Edberg

“Their new book, My Dead, published by Kelsay Books, presents Brantingham’s poetry and Edberg’s artwork in response. While we are familiar with Ekphrasis, writing to the art, Etymphrasis (a term coined by Jane Edberg) is artwork done to the writing. The result is not illustration, but stand-alone artwork: paintings or drawings in some way inspired by the writing, but independent from it. The process may be virtual, but the results are electric.”
