DC Ekphrastic: Crisis of Faith

It’s everything you don’t talk about at the dinner table - religion, politics, love gone wrong. In this eclectic collection of accessible, thought-provoking poetry, award winning poet and author Katherine Gotthardt asks the painful questions that have plagued society for centuries, exposing the doubt surrounding the human experience, doubt often unexpressed. But she makes it personal, skillfully breathing life into persona through the power of astute observation, putting words in the mouth of evocative street photography by Ethan Meurlin. Together, they form the ekphrastic, the timeless practice of creating literary art from the visual.

“Katherine Gotthardt is a poet worth reading - powerful, humorous, contemplative, impactful,” says Beat Poet Laureate and publisher James P. Wagner.

United Nations Award Winning Poet Brian Donnel James says, “Katherine Gotthardts’s literary art can best be described as heart moving, lovely…it is both warm and friendly. She instantly connect to the soul and leaves you inspired.”

Meurlin’s photography has been described as “light amidst shadow” and “the place where light and darkness convene…he introduces the gray with the subtlety that is life itself.”
