Poets on Painters: Essays on the Art of Painting by Twentieth-Century Poets

edited by J. D. McClatchy

What are poets looking at, looking for, when they walk into a room of pictures? Poets on Painters attempts to answer this question by bringing together, for the first time, essays by modern American and British poets about painting. The poets bring to their task a fresh eye and a freshened language, vivid with nuance and color and force.
