Scott Ezell’s poem-painting cycle “Migration” was posted in 8 installments in Seattle’s Center on Contemporary Arts (CoCA) website. This work is based on an art residency in New Caledonia in September 2007. Click here to see the last and latest post, or here to start from the beginning.

lipped with shimmers of sand
and wreathed in tropic flowers….
