Description

Dan M. Burt's collection explores the 20th century and its aftermath through the lens of John Ruskin's famous work and modern painters' art. Steady, truth-telling poems chart the poet's journey from Philadelphia to Cambridge and Yale, drawing on landscapes of memory. Lyrical, philosophical, elegiac, and satirical in tone, these traditional verse forms reflect on the past with a sense of introspection and reflection. The result is a unique blend of poetry and prose that offers a personal and artistic perspective on history. Through its exploration of memory and art, this collection presents a nuanced and thought-provoking work that invites readers to consider their own relationship with the past.
