About this ebook

In Through the Lens, Caridad Moro-Gronlier redefines ekphrasis for a visually saturated world, expanding her poetic gaze beyond the image to include the objects, spaces, texts, and moments that shape our cultural and personal landscapes. These poems do more than describe—they interrogate, interpret, and reflect, treating each subject as a living, dynamic presence. Moro-Gronlier invites the reader to slow down, look again, and reconsider how meaning is made. This genre-defying collection dismantles the frame and reframes the familiar, challenging not only what we perceive, but the very structures that teach us how—and what—it means to see.
