Poems About Sculpture (Everyman''s Library Pocket Poets Series) Book Information:

culpture is a unique anthology of poems from around the world and across the ages about our most enduring art form. Sculpture has the longest memory of the arts: from the Paleolithic era, we find stone carvings and clay figures embedded with human longing. And poets have long been fascinated by the idea of eternity embodied by the monumental temples and fragmented statues of ancient civilizations. From Keatss Grecian urn and Shelleys Ozymandias to contemporary verse about Maya Lins Vietnam Veterans Memorial and Janet Echelmans wind-borne hovering nets, the pieces in this collection convert the physical materials of the plastic artsclay, wood, glass, marble, granite, bronze, and moreinto lapidary lines of poetry. Whether the sculptures celebrated here commemorate love or war, objects or apparitions, forms human or divine, they have called forth evocative responses from a wide range of poets, including Homer, Ovid, Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Rilke, Dickinson, Yeats, Auden, and Plath. A compendium of dazzling examples of one art form reflecting on another, Poems About Sculpture is a treat for art lovers of all kinds.
