The Passage - Effie Pasagiannis - Bog

The Passage is an exquisite ekphrastic poetry chapbook inspired by American surrealist painter Kay Sage's transfixing paintings depicting barren landscapes and intricate architectural scenes. Each carefully crafted poem serves as a portal to Sage's masterpieces and an intimate exploration into her constant struggle to be recognized as a surrealist artist, in what was then an insular art world dominated by famous male figures such as Andre Breton, Max Ernst, and Sage's husband Yves Tanguy. Delving into the realm of surrealism, melancholy and untold narratives, The Passage is a poetic journey transcending time and space to embrace the transformative power of art.
