The Pilgrim's Bowl: (Giorgio Morandi) (The Swiss List) Details
Review “Words, though imperfect and imprecise, allow Jaccottet to develop and explore his reactions to the artwork of Giorgio Morandi. The author deals in paradox as he attempts to illuminate the power of these paintings when he knows that the paintings themselves hold much more meaning than words could ever do, but he hopes to translate the emotive aspect of this bare and stark art.” (World Literature Today) Read more About the Author Philippe Jaccottet is a major Swiss poet and critic, and a translator of works by Homer, Goethe, Hölderlin, Rilke, and Musil. John Taylor is a literary critic and the translator of many books. He is also the author of seven books of stories, short prose, and poetry, the latest of which is If Night is Falling. Read more
