Tiepolo's Hound by Derek Walcott

by Staff

Derek Walcott,
Tiepolo's Hound, poems: Published with twenty-five full-color reproductions of Walcott's own paintings,
Tiepolo's Hound is a stunning book-length poem that is at once the spiritual biography of Camille Pissarro, a history in verse of Impressionist painting, and a memoir of Walcott's desire to catch the visual world in more than words. (FSG)
