A Neon Tryst is a collection of ekphrastic poems featuring the films L'Eclisse (dir. Michelangelo Antonioni); Seconds (dir. John Frankenheimer); and Wild Strawberries (dir. Ingmar Bergman). Though divided in three separate sections by film, the collection stands as one, cohesive piece, as all main characters share an internal conflict-losing identity with the passage of time.
