Description

Laurance Wieder (ed). An illustrated treasury of poetry inspired by the Old Testament. Wieder has selected 65 poems written between the 16th century & the present. Such writers as Emily Dickinson, D.H. Lawrence, & Robert Frost sound the themes & ancient stories: the Creation, Adam & Eve, Joseph & His Brothers, Moses, David & Goliath, Solomon & Sheba. The poems range in style from Sir Philip Sydney’s courtly verse to the uncapitalized freedom of e.e. cummings. The 62 works chosen to accompany the words include such masters as Rembrandt, Michelangelo, & Chagall. Subjects are illustrated in paintings, sculpture, illuminated manuscripts, & textiles.
