Clotheslines: A Collection of Poetry and Art

. ABRAMS, $20 (112pp) ISBN 978-0-8109-5732-9

Partially inspired by Viktor Shklovsky (who wrote that ""clothes say that we reserve to ourselves the symbol of our body as fate""), Clotheslines: A Collection of Poetry and Art pairs poems and artworks on facing pages. Editor Stan Tymorek (Home: A Collection of Poetry and Art) puts Warhol's screenprint ""Letter to the World (The Kick), Martha Graham"" with Diane Wakoski's ""The Pink Dress."" Lines from Lorine Neidecker (""The need/ these closed-in days// to move before you/ smooth-draped/ and color-elated// in a favorable wind"") appears with Egon Schiele's ""Portrait of a Woman,"" among other provocative pairings.
