Included here are poems that celebrate Leonardo da Vinci’s \u003ci\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/i\u003e, Claude Monet’s \u003ci\u003eWater Lilies\u003c\/i\u003e, and Grant Wood’s \u003ci\u003eAmerican Gothic\u003c\/i\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\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePOEMS ABOUT ART AND ARTISTS, edited by Emily Fragos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eODE TO THE ARTIST\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Old Master” \u003cb\u003eZbigniew Herbert\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Vermeer” \u003cb\u003eTomas Transtromer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Musee des Beaux Arts” \u003cb\u003eW.
