About this product

About this product

Product Information

The quarterly review MELUS said of John Yau, [his] poetic and critical writings...present an intriguing site of investigation into questions of racial authenticity, while Publishers Weekly has described Yau's poetry as [l]anding somewhere between the surreal-noir aesthetics of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive; a kinder, gentler version of J.K. Huysman's Paris decadence; and the aggregated syllables of Jackson Mac Low's overheard New York... In The Passionate Spectator , Yau turns his attention to some of our most renowned poets and artists, such as John Ashbery, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Robert Creeley, and Frank O'Hara. The eleven essays herein include: Passionate Spectator: On Frank O'Hara's Art Criticism ; At the Movies with Weldon Kees and Frank O'Hara ; The Poet as Art Critic (On John Ashbery and Frank O'Hara) ; Feelings Are Not Quiet (On Robert Creeley) ; Robert Creeley and George Baselitz's Signs ; Philip Lamantia ; Archie Rand's 'The Letter Paintings' ; Street Song: The Art of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Poetry of Kevin Young ; The Poetry of Jessica Stockholder's Titles ; The Poet Painters: Francesco Clemente and Nicola De Maria ; and Open Books: (On Emblems for Robert Duncan by Jess).
