Poems about art.

K-M Skalkenæs has dabbled in pictorial art for most of her life. As such, art as a topic isn’t a distant thought.

While “art” can mean many things, in this case it primarily refers to painting or drawing. Rarely music. Poems about poetry, or poems about writing in general, are considerede separate categories.

Art is such a giving thing to engage in. Engaging with it can alter and shape ones view of the world. And these poems, among other things, reflect on how that works.

Whereas art by itself can be a nebulous topic, these poems are usually more concrete. They mostly deal with experiences of art, and the creation of art.
