This prize winning ecphrasis poem hangs on the walls of an art gallery near the Gulf of Mexico. Beirretter's in Pine Island.

The woman in the straw hat hums

as she seasons and pan fries the afternoon catch.

Her faded fishing rod

leans against a plastic bucket

while her cat’s tail weaves

then taps the wooden floor.

The woman’s questioning eyes dart to the paned window--

toward the echo of the sea--

the click of halyard against mast.

But, within this old house

she remains,

inspired and comforted

by the salt-weathered clapboards.
