Major incorporates the techniques of painting--particularly that of Post-Expressionism--into his verse, describing scenery with an artist's eye and using form and color to evoke striking images: \"Desire, artichoke green . . . leaves all radiant, \/ creating the thickness of blue shadows.\" A master of highly structured free verse, Major also paints sounds, enthralling the reader in a realm of private symbols and dream visions. Using dynamic, surreal images, this original collection invites readers into the poet's own fascinating world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrizewinning poet, painter, and novelist \u003cb\u003eClarence Major \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of ten books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eConfigurations: New and Selected Poems, 1958-1998, \u003c\/i\u003ea National Book Award Bronze Medal finalist.
