An ekphrastic poem is a vivid description of a work of art. Bonnie Rucobo will read from her newly released Word Sculptures in the Albuquerque Museum Sculpture Garden (illustrations by Francesca Searer). By reflecting on the sculpture, Rucobo amplifies and expands its meaning. Experience the poetic life of Michael A Naranjo's  The Dancer, Nora Naranjo-Morse's Numbeh Whageh, Tom Joyce's Rio Grande Gates, Allan Houser's Prayer, Bob Haozous' Bear with Planes and Clouds, Beverley Magennis and Robert Stout's The Pathway, Bill Barrett's I Am Myself, John Suttman's Gate, and Dan Ostermiller's Les Bears.
