John J. Dunphy

Note: The Poetry Foundation defines an ekphrastic poem as “a vivid description of a scene or, more commonly, a work of art.” I’m sure you’ll know the paintings that inspired my two senryu.

John J. Dunphy’s poetry collections include Old Soldiers Fading Away, Zen Koanhead, Touching Each Tree, pagan rites, Bullet Cluster, Stellar Possibility and Dark Nebulae. He is also the author of non-fiction works such as Unsung Heroes of the Dachau Trials: The Investigative Work of the U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group, 1945–1947.
