Power of Art

Sally's Hair by John Koethe reviewed at Bookloons.

The Collected Poems 1956-1998 by Zbigniew Herbert reviewed in Rain Taxi Summer 2007 print issue: "Where defense of one's country is a crime, there is no homeland but exile."

As is A Worldly Country by John Ashbery: "A Worldly Country isn't only for those already initiated in Ashbery's particular brand of genius, it's also an ideal starting point for the uninitiated or even the frightened.  The poems here are rarely longer than a page, and each poem contains at least one Ashberyian moment that even the most critical readers of Ashbery may appreciate--moments of dry rumination, eloquent and ironically passionless."

Reading the World and Words Without Borders are offering ten works in translation to four lucky entrants.  Visit here to enter.

On Monday evening, the first two segments of Simon Schama's Power of Art air on PBS.  From Shelf Awareness: "the series focuses on eight artists and a work that defined the career of each.  The series runs every Monday through July 30."  The series runs as a companion to the book (or vice versa) that went on sale this past November.
