Picture Frames A book of poetry

by Joseph Simmons

Overview

"Picture Frames" is a collection of poetic pictures, commentaries, conversations and statements, ordered to suggest narrative. "Picture Frames" may continue as a series of volumes, each a chapbook collection of poems. The structures and imagery of each picture/poem may pose contradictions or ambiguities to question perceptions, images or ideas, but each picture has its internal harmony and resonance. Each poem is a brush stroke contributing to the gallery.

The collected poetry presents commentaries, conversations, questions and descriptions into a single work of art. Rhymed and free verse poems, experimental sentence structures and punctuation are all colors on the palette. Multiple readings of individual poems and the entirety will reveal interacting themes and imagery. The pictures connect and interrelate, their meanings resonate.
