CLOTHES LINES: A COLLECTION OF POETRY&ART 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

A whole book of poems about clothing? Are we putting you on?

On the contrary, poets and artists throughout the centuries have found inspiration in all kinds of garments, from farmers' overalls to the robes of geishas, using them to explore the themes of identity, sensuality, personal history, and craft. A collection of words and images devoted to what we wear, Clotheslines brings together fifty poems with a rich assortment of paintings, drawings, and photographs that complement them.

Edited by Stan Tymorek, this unusual anthology will evoke memories and associations in anyone who has ever had a beloved pair of jeans or a favorite little black dress. The poems-by Elizabeth Bishop, BlaiseCendrars, Robert Creeley, Pablo Neruda, Dorothy Parker, Calvin Trillin, and John Updike, among others - are paired with works by diverse artists such as Romare Bearden, Joseph Cornell, Jim Dine, Sonia Delaunay, Max Ernst, John Singer Sargent, Egon Schiele, and Andy Warhol.

Unexpected pairings of poetry and art bring a fresh perspective to this timeless subject. For example, an Elizabethan poem about a lover's garters accompanies an Edward Steichen fashion photograph from I93O; and a famous seventeenth-century poem by Robert Herrick about the "liquefication" of clothes finds a visual counterpart in a surreal illustration of a flowing gown by A. M. Cassandre. For many poets and artists, clothing has the power to transform and transport us: A-white suit makes Blaise Cendrars "Happy as a king / Rich as a millionaire / Free as a man"; a dress becomes a carpet of flowers in the hands of Gustav Klimt; and Stevie Smith, suddenly whisked to a faraway island, asks, “If ! take my hat off, shall I find myself home again?”

Whether we are fashion forward or oblivious to trends, clothing is our universal means of selfexpression. Here are some imaginative expressions that will never go out of style.
