For the Arc Poetry Annual 2011, Arc teamed up with the National Gallery of Canada to celebrate ekphrasis—the creation of a work of art or literature in response to another. Through commissioned works of poetry and visual art, interviews, discussions, and more, the issue focuses on this practice between poetry and visual art, and on the popularity of this form of writing among contemporary Canadian poets. Set at the intersection of the written, the painted, and the performed, the Arc Annual 2011 is a natural place for a collaboration between Canada’s visual artists and poets.
