Poetry. Ekphrasis, that ancient mode found in Homer's description
of Achilles' shield or Keats' Grecian Urn, is here transformed in
Michael Heller's meditations in poetry and prose on work by the
painter Max Beckmann. Heller navigates, sometimes with Yeats as his
Virgil, through a gallery of Beckmann's pictures, seeing them as
uniquely bringing home contemporary civilization's catastrophic
impulses ("as if days were not for sanity"), impulses at once
horrific and unsettling yet strangely beautiful and restorative.
