For a reader unaccustomed to reading poetry, or who has fallen away from the custom, this collection offers an inviting way into the art, or back into it. For readers devoted to poetry, it offers illuminating examples of the infinitely various ways a poem reaches a reader. In both the book & the videos on the accompanying DVD, poems by Sappho, Shakespeare, Keats, Whitman, & Dickinson as well as contemporary poets are introduced by people from across the United States?a construction worker, a Supreme Court justice, a glassblower, a marine?each of whom speaks about his or her connection to the poem. Their comments are variously poignant, funny, heartening, tart, penetrating, & eccentric, showing some of the ways poetry is alive for American readers. "An Invitation to Poetry" will inspire a fresh experience of poetry's pleasure & insight. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: MAGGIE DIETZ is the Favorite Poem Project's director. She lives in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. ROBERT PINSKY is the author of ten collections of poetry including, most recently, At the Foundling Hospital. His translation "The Inferno of Dante" won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry. His brief guide "The Sounds of Poetry" is used in acting classes. As a 3-term United States Poet Laureate, Pinsky founded the Favorite Poem Project, in which thousands of Americans shared their favorite poems. That project gave rise to three previous anthologies, "Americans' Favorite Poems", "An Invitation to Poetry" & "Singing School". Pinsky lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, & teaches at Boston University. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our quoted below cost rates.

In addition to the many important paintings from collections throughout the world, the ornamental ceramic vessels, carved doorframes, transfer watercolors, and drawings add a new dimension to our understanding of how Gauguin came to exert such a great and lasting influence over modern art. Gauguin's remarkable production as an artist, rather than his exotic, troubled life in such places as Tahiti and Brittany, is the true subject of this volume. Six incisive essays and informative commentaries on almost 300 works of art chronicle Gauguin's life and career. The book also includes an illustrated, fully documented chronology; a bibliography; and an index of titles of works. The authors of The Art of Paul Gauguin are among the most distinguished scholars in the field of late nineteenth~century French art: Francoise Cachin, director, Musee d'Orsay; Richard Brettell, director, Dallas Museum of Art, formerly Searle Curator of Paintings, The Art Institute of Chicago; Claire Freches~Thory, curator, Musco d'Orsay; Charles F. Stuckey, curator of twentieth~century art, The Art Institute of Chicago and formerly of the National Gallery, all assisted by Peter Zegers, special consultant to the project. "This exhibition is a celebration of Paul Gauguin, the artist~traveler, taking us from his early years in France through sojourns in Brittany; Martinique, and Aries and then, finally; to Tahiti. The Art of Paul Gauguin is the first exhibition since the memorial show in Paris in 1906 to cover the full range of Gauguin's work: painting, sculpture, ceramics, and graphic arts." ~J. Carter Brown, Director, National Gallery of Art. "Gauguin was the greatest colorist of the late nineteenth century and the principal source for a tradition in twentieth century painting that continued with Matisse. During the five~year preparation of this exhibition a wealth of new technical and documentary material has come to light that will contribute significantly to our understanding of Gauguin's life and work." ~James N. Wood, Director, The Art Institute of Chicago.
