The Poetry of Solitude
By Gail Levin (Editor)
Synopsis
A Tribute to Edward Hopper
Edward Hopper's haunting images of twentieth-century America have appealed to many poets John Hollander, Joyce Carol Oates, and John Updike among them. Hopper's art has struck a fundamental chord in those who have similarly attempted to portray the essence of solitude.
This unique volume, collected and introduced by Gail Levin, combines for the first time classic pictures by Edward Hopper and the poems they inspired. His much-loved Nighthawks and House by the Railroad are gathered along with many other favorites that have captured poets' imagination.
The Poetry of Solitude celebrates the meeting of two distinct art forms painting and poetry and the brilliantly evocative artist to whom these contemporary poets pay homage.
