The author, Ellen Dooling Reynard, refers to this collection as "ekphrastic poetry". The word "ekphrasis" refers to poems about works of art, usually including an exploration of how the speaker is impacted or transformed by his or her experience with the work. This book of poems is about the paintings and drawings of the author's late husband, the French painter Paul Reynard (1927-2005). Color prints of the artist's work are included along with the poems. In the introduction the author expresses "love and gratitude for my late husband, Paul Reynard, whose light-filled paintings shine in my home."
