“The Sleep of Trees (Three Parables)” – an ekprhasitic flash/prose poem based on three paintings by F. Scott Hess …

Thanks to Didi Menendez for introducing me to the work of F. Scott Hess.

My work “The Sleep of Trees (Three Parables),” first published in Wigleaf, is a suite – part flash / part prose poem – of three sections, with each section connecting directly to a painting by Hess: The Measure of Love, The Sleep of Trees, and Riverbed.

Paintings by Hess may be explored – some showing progressive stages from idea to drawing to finished work – at Open Museum.
