Painting and sculpture have inspired great poetry, but so also have photography, calligraphy, tapestry and folk art. Included here are poems celebrating Leonardo da Vincis Mona Lisa, Monets Waterlilies and Grant Woods American Gothic wellknown poems such as Keatss Ode on a Grecian Urn and Audens Muse de BeauxArts, Homers immortal account of the forging of the Shield of Achilles and Garcia Lorcas breathtaking ode to the surreal paintings of Salvador Dali. Allen Ginsberg writes about Czanne, E. E. Cummings about Picasso, Billy Collins about Hieronymous Bosch, and Joyce Carol Oates about Edward Hopper. Here too are poems that take on the artists themselves, from Michelangelo and Rembrandt to Georgia OKeeffe and Andy Warhol. Altogether, this brilliantly curated anthology proves that a picture can be worth a thousand words or a few very wellchosen ones.
