I think you're on to something with your servant poem project. Now imagine if you could write the servants' two lives as reversos, with the "reverso" part being their "true" lives reflected in their lives of service...Good luck with that! :) Renee LaTulippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520719663052253627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868976411159042945.post-73831291614090281462012-08-25T08:47:42.952-04:002012-08-25T08:47:42.952-04:00Oh, the pressure's on now...Oh, the pressure's on now...Diane Mayrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09767689319000732296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868976411159042945.post-37700677387207598552012-08-25T06:16:26.471-04:002012-08-25T06:16:26.471-04:00I just listened to the bit of Bill Bryson's bo...I just listened to the bit of Bill Bryson's book AT HOME about servants.

If I hadn't known it was a servant, I might have supposed the painting was about all women.

You picked such a powerful painting and your poem goes so well with it! I think a servant-ekphrastic series sounds like a great idea. :-)<br />Tabathahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367572663591077922noreply@blogger.com
