RUNAWAY PONY: An Anthology of Verse after Paintings by Thomas
Pecore Weso is a collection of “ekphrastic poetry,” poems written about
specific artworks. The
collection commemorates an opening and reading at the Runaway Pony Bed and
Breakfast, November, 2012. The vivid, acrylic and black-light
paintings of Weso inspire diverse, award-winning authors, including:
Diane Glancy, Julianne Buchsbaum,
Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, Xánath Caraza, Silvia Kofler,
Denise Low, DaMaris B. Hill, Allison Serina Hearn, James Benger, and Kevin
Cummings.
Critic Mick Braa writes
of Thomas Pecore Weso’s paintings: “He paints mostly bright, high-contrast
colors to records what he has discovered, borrowing styles and figures from
varied Indian art traditions to symbolize what he sees senses, and learns.
Forms can switch back and forth between foreground and background, perhaps
illustrating our constantly changing sensations of place, spirit and things in
between.” (Lawrence Magazine 2012)AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE $5 plus shipping
