(Like bright graffiti in a schoolyard, Charles Martin's po...)
Like bright graffiti in a schoolyard, Charles Martin's poems "renew the ancient complaint/ of speech against stone". Serious and playful - often at the same time - they give form to the part of us that resists blank walls. "Steal the Bacon" shows Martin at his inventive best, drawing figures in language.

(Actually, this collection of 20 watercolors and eight ske...)
Actually, this collection of 20 watercolors and eight sketchbooks is, in fact, a record of the fictitious places that existed only in the artist's imagination. This is a document of Testa's landscape of the mind, a landscape not real, yet more than real in that these works are a summation of everything that the artist knows of landscape. Minutely detailed, Testa's paintings are illuminated with an odd, expressionist lighting, much like the mysterious landscapes found hidden in Renaissance works or in the more recent paintings of the Surrealists. This is pure landscape, as a form of its own and for its own sake.

In this new collection by poet and translator Charles Martin, a darkly comic vision engages an unpredictable variety of subjects in poems of astute technical assurance. In this book, the reader will find a displaced snapping turtle, advertisements that look back at us, the link between classical Athens and a television quiz show, and many other wonders, including the unsettling possibility of a poetry reading.

A poet of formal brilliance and a darkly comic sensibility, two-time Pulitzer Prize- nominee Charles Martin has, over three decades of creativity, produced a most unusual collection of poems; the forms are traditional but the concerns are as contemporary as TV's Jeopardy, lingerie from Victoria's Secret, or leftover ICBMs.

Ovid's epic poem - whose theme of change has resonated throughout the ages - is one of the most important texts of Western imagination, an inspiration from Dante's times to the present day, when writers such as Salman Rushdie and Italo Calvino have found a living source in Ovid's work. Charles Martin combines a close fidelity to Ovid's text with verse that catches the speed and liveliness of the original. Martin's Metamorphoses will be the translation of choice for contemporary readers in English. This volume also includes endnotes and a glossary of people, places, and personifications.
