Synopsis
The sixteen essays collected here show the breadth and depth of Bonnefoy's writings on art, aesthetics, and poetics. His lyrical ruminations range across centuries and cultures, from Byzantium to postwar France, from the paintings of Piero della Francesca to the sculptures of Alberto Giacometti and the photographs of Henri Cartier-Bresson, from the Italian Giorgio Morandi to the American Edward Hopper.

Industry Reviews
"It will not, such writing, be to everyone's taste. Certainly it is not invariably to mine--we all have our moods and moments when we don't want to read about the art we love, or even the art we dislike, from such a relentlessly barricaded perspectives. But as I read these essays over and over...I am inveterately raised to a plane of comprehension, of identification even, to which no other writing on art since Proust has granted access. I might summarize the endeavor made by both poet and his readers as a perversion of the Shakespearean question: Death and Absence, who is here?"
