Toni Ortner’s chapbook, Focused Light from a Distant Star, is a collection of 39 ekphrastic poems and prose poems. Most were inspired by the works “created by women in the last two centuries,” says Ortner in her Preface including Natalya Goncharova, Frida Kahlo, Louise Nevelson, Helen Frankenthaler, and Kiki Smith.
