My poem, Our Lady of Scarlet, based on a painting of Marchesa di Casati, by Augustus John, is posted today on The Ekphrastic Review, along with Jane Dougherty and other writers. I did not look up the Marchesa until after I had written my poem, but I think the artist captured the essence of her life in his portrait. What I saw without knowing the facts seems very close to the truth.
You can read my poem here.
My thanks once again to editor Lorette C. Luzajic for supporting my work and the interaction between the visual and written arts.
I was told by several people I could post the old way by going to WP Admin–and it works. I will still be absent for awhile as I am entering the final stages of moving–I’m packing up my computer today. But I’ll be back before the end of September.

Your poem is impressive. I admired the way you gave her a justification and linked her persona with her hair/heritage. Good luck with the move and see you soon!

Congratulations, Kerfe. I was excited to see both you and Jane in this issue. I loved the reference to her hair. I like your collage, too.
Good luck again with the move!
