- English abstract
- This essay considers the Irish poet Paul Durcan’s implementation of autoinscription in the context of several of his ekphrastic poems. It argues that the construction of a persona named Paul Durcan is a strategy for authorial erasure, a means of shifting focus from subjectivity to fictionalization which acknowledges both the textuality of the poem and the multiplicity of identity. It concludes that the presence of Paul Durcan is a dramatization and a distillation of Durcan’s primary aesthetic, namely that the confluence of visual and verbal art can and should be reciprocal and inevitable.
