Poetry. A genre almost invented by this multifarious talent--poem-memoir or prose-poem-memoir--this text, part of a series that King has begun to publish, brings to bear his talents both as writer and visual artist, as he contemplates some heroes--Hartley, Pound, H.D., Williams, Demuth, Sheeler, Giotto, Nijinksy, Virginia Woolfe and her sister, Vanessa, Roger Fry, and perhaps most significantly, Emily Carr. This book contains the autobiography of a painting. The personal knowledge of "Paintings stay alive because people look at them. And when they don't, they die."
