Postings this week
will include selections from Art and Artists: Poems, an anthology of ekphrastic

its own realization.” He was much influenced by poets like Catullus, Rumi, Pound and Rilke. More on Twombly.

Love him so much that they would crawl the streets
of Rome in search of him.
Hate him so much that they would crawl the streets
