Lisa Lee BOOK PLATE: THE ANATOMIST |
No
atrial, ventricular Deft
crimps The
steady tick-tick How
eerie the empathy at
all, but art's economy:
____ This poem is a response to the copper
engraving by Nicolas Beatrizet, from the drawing attributed to Gasper
Becerra, from Anatome corpris humani (Venice, 1607), reproduced
in The Physician's Art: Representations of Art and Medicine (Durham,
1999). "Book Plate: The Anatomist" belongs to a body of work
that is primarily ekphrastic. |
