The Art of Poetry: Roheeni Saxena, The Nefertiti of My Dreams
This is the first of a series of ekphrasis poetry by Wellesley College students, staff, and faculty. Ekphrasis is poetry inspired by an art object. Roheeni Saxena's poem, The Nefertiti of My Dreams, was inspired by a sculpture in our collection by Charles-Henri-Joseph Cordier's Capresse des Colonies (Negress of the Colonies), 1861.
