Cutting A Sunbeam: A Collection Of Ekphrastic Prose-Poems

Part of me stands separately, both participant and observer, a speaker says in an early poem, and this is the perfect explanation for how Lundh conveys the essence of the art used for inspiration by creating new art, poems where the speaker is both participant and observer. Whether reflecting on a 15th century woodcut about both childhood imagination and current events or reanimating soldiers and lovers from numerous paintings and photographs, Lundh's poems reveal the humanity and hope that we can find in art, the door it opens to new worlds- and in his words, can we agree to say that opening it expands the possibilities of what is told? -Donna Vorreyer, author of To Everything There Is Lundh's imagination, eye for detail, and poetic skill brings new life to images frozen in time. Cutting a Sunbeam contains poems of possibility. They are ekphrastic meditations on love, war, loss, dreams, and hope that live beyond the frame's edge, the what if of captured moments. These are poems of the human condition, a look inside our infinite worlds, their stars and moons. In his poetry, Lundh explores the story behind the scene, amplifies the image, extends meaning through skillful narration and reflection. We hear the voices of history, kneel at the side of someone's possible distress, and walk beside each character as Lundh tilts the universe by just a few degrees of adolescent curiosity. -David Terelinck, Australian writer and poet
