Included here are poems that celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s\u003cem\u003e Mona Lisa\u003c\/em\u003e, Claude Monet’s \u003cem\u003eWater Lilies\u003c\/em\u003e, and Grant Wood’s \u003cem\u003eAmerican Gothic\u003c\/em\u003e. Here are such well-known poems as John Keats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” and W. H. Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts,” Homer’s immortal account of the forging of the shield of Achilles, and Federico García Lorca’s breathtaking ode to the surreal paintings of Salvador Dalí. Allen Ginsberg writes about Cezanne, Anne Sexton about van Gogh, Billy Collins about Hieronymus Bosch, and Kevin Young about Jean-Michel Basquiat. Here too are poems that take on the artists themselves, from Michelangelo and Rembrandt to Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’Keeffe. Altogether, this brilliantly curated anthology proves that a picture can be worth a thousand words—or a few very well-chosen ones.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardcover\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e256 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRandom House, 2012\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4.4 x 6.48 inches\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN 9780307959386 \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePoetry, Anthology","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45659733360808,"sku":"9780307959386","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0175\/8594\/files\/ArtandArtists_Poems_Fragos.jpg?v=1699730408","url":"https:\/\/neue-galerie-design-shop.myshopify.com\/products\/art-and-artists-poems-everymans-pocket-poet-series","provider":"Neue Galerie Design Shop \u0026 Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
