The Man from Some Place Else

The Man from Some Place Else has ridden on the big wheel and has landed in a new place. He goes down the road and meets people. There is the man who sees naked ladies made up of tree branches. There is the girl who reads secrets. There is the man who has captured the black birds in inflatable Christmas decorations. There is the pastry that tastes funny. There is a long way to walk and many people to interact with. That is the quest. That is the question. The Man from Some Place Else is learning things as he goes from here to there. And in the end, the Man from Some Place Else turns and walks down the street like he knows where he is going.

The Ekphrasis Take-Away is an ezine of stories taken from actual paintings seen in galleries and museums. These paintings come from an exhibit at the Art House in Munson Massachusetts in November of 2025.
