In this series of ekphrastic works, Adam Vines explores themes as varied as exile, family, disease, desire, and isolation through an array of twentieth- and twenty-first century painters, including Picasso, Hopper, Rothko, de Kooning, Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Artschwager. He also goes within and beyond these works of art to explore characters set in the present-day museums, from a bored docent to a misinformed \"explainer\" of an artwork's meaning. Combining these two views--one that looks at the painting and another that looks around it--his poems affirm the artist's insights into the complexity of being human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdam Vines is an assistant professor of English at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and editor of \u003ci\u003eBirmingham Poetry Review. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is also the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Coal Life\u003c\/i\u003e and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eDay Kink\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAccording to Discretion.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 21, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722881077311,"sku":"9780807167656","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d1f90b1c8dab2e78d1007420c4a8866d.webp?v=1765097275","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/out-of-speech-poems-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
