In this new collection of previously uncollected and unpublished essays, Sidney-Fryer displays the wealth of knowledge and the keen critical judgment he has developed in a lifetime of immersion in the fine arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a fascinating diary-essay recounting a trip Sidney-Fryer took to El Salvador in 2016, in the company of master painter Jesse Allen, whose murals are described vividly and evocatively. Sidney-Fryer subsequently treats a wealth of other subjects, ranging from the poetic methodology of his own classic work, \u003cem\u003eSongs and Sonnets Atlantean\u003c\/em\u003e (1971), the prose and poetry of H. P. Lovecraft, the films of the 1930s and 1940s, and much else besides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second half of \u003cem\u003eAesthetics, Ho!\u003c\/em\u003e is titled \"Ends and Odds: A Poetic Miscellany,\" an assemblage of nearly 60 poems and prose-poems that Sidney-Fryer has written in recent years. Here we find tributes to the work of Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, and J. Sheridan Le Fanu, and the imagination-stirring travel accounts of Marco Polo, an evocation of the King Arthur legend, and an amusing parody of Clark Ashton Smith (\"The Nonsense Eater: By Quark Ashcan Smiff\"), the author whom Sidney-Fryer has spent a lifetime in studying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll told, this volume demonstrates Donald Sidney-Fryer's continuing dynamism as an artist and critic in his eighth decade of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53301278015795,"sku":"9781614982012","price":35.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/ftlLwLwhYF9781614982012.webp?v=1777508121","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/aesthetics-ho-essays-on-art-literature-and-theatre-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
