Sotto Poet Poet Ekphrasis

Notes About The Poem

Keelmen Coal Factory

Turner's artistic gift is sought to a working-class dream sequence.
His visual poetry beats the factory revolt's time and place.
In a stunning display of moonshine, which erupts through the sky.
At the right, Keelmen, flat-bottom keels hauling coal along the Quay
