This is an automatically translated description

This is a collection of individual studies and research, but at the same time a homogeneous text that is well thought out, rich in detail, informative and attentive to detail. Very concrete, but aimed at understanding the non-obvious experience of ekphrasis.

The author reads poems very well. The research tools are rich and thoughtful. Each statement has an explanation, and awareness of the subject matter accompanies the reader's delight. The researcher is interested in the poem as it is, a thing in itself, an independent being, a magical work of language. I am convinced that we are looking at a remarkable achievement of the researcher. But, above all, this is a wonderful book."
