Has anyone mentioned John Ashbery's "Self-Portrait In A Convex Mirror"? This is lucid Ashbery, a relatively rare occurrence, and is a fine poem for those who can forgive its lack of meter.

In a sense (far-fetched, perhaps), most of Blake's illuminated poems are ekphrastic. I guess it might depend on which came first, the picture or the poem.

I wonder if a poem like Hart Crane's "Brooklyn Bridge" poem would qualify, since in a way it's a poem about architecture and/or bridge-building, arts unto themselves.
