Description
Information Desk: An Epic
A book-length poem set in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's information desk, this ambitious work takes readers on an anguished soul-quest and ecstatic intellectual query to confront the violent forces that inform the museum's collection.
With novelistic sweep, frantically informative tone, and deeply intimate private recollections, Robyn Schiff's fourth collection explores a wide range of topics, including illusion, deception, self-deception, complicity, and the spiritual powers of art.
