Peer Review 2

Jared your ekphrastic poem inspired by Les Demoiselles d’Avignon is both insightful and disturbing. The clear empathy shown to so thoroughly describe the experience of these women has led to an evocative and deep, creative piece. The harsh reality you paint for these women in your piece is so well communicated through your poem that it leaves a deep emotional effect on the reader. I have no criticism of this creative piece but only an interesting observation that struck me as I looked at the image and read your words, and that is of the vast spectrum of interpretation from one human to the next. While I applaud your vision of this painting mine was so vastly different, but through your poem I was able to experience your contrasting experience of the painting and that is a testament to your poetic ability.
