Description
Poetry. Art. Edited by Burt Kimmelman. This collection of critical writings on the work of Basil King—his art and poetry—takes us into the life and times he and Martha Winston King lived and helped to shape. His singular aesthetic vision sharpens our picture of the explosion in the arts after the Second World War. These lucid essays do not merely provide welcome insight; they take us into the heart of the matter, in their involvement with King's extraordinary accomplishment, and its place within our cultural history.
