This title in other formats:Other titles in the James Dickey Contemporary Poetry series:United Artists and Other Poems: Poems (James Dickey Contemporary Poetry)by S. X. Rosenstock
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:A bold, new poet's vision of transformative, exuberant art, United Artists celebrates the primacy of imagination in the life well-lived. This beguiling first collection of poems by S. X. Rosenstock is an art lover's dream as well as a passionate, timely defense of the arts. With remarkable verve and grace, Rosenstock moves among the monuments and the ruins of society in comic, compassionate verses that challenge patriarchal codes and reveal authentic modes of pleasures. In fresh and provocative fashion, Rosenstock offers readers breathtakingly original encounters with the likes of Charles Baudelaire, Aubrey Beardsley, Fernando Botero, Francisco Goya, Lana Turner, Edith Wharton, John Woo, Madame Bovary's daughter, Petit Marcel's mother, and a host of others. Book News Annotation:The English translation of Mitterand's memoir which became,
incidentally, also the memoir of his friend Nobel Peace Prize
recipient Elie Wiesel. Before leaving office, the French president
asked Wiesel to interview him. The result was a dialogue between two
powerful men who had witnessed some of the most influential (and
horrible) events of the 20th century. Their conversations range over
childhood hopes, faith, war, literature, power, and death,
illuminating the intelligence and wit which characterized both
careers. No bibliography, index, or notes.
