Poetry. Art. "Through precise and knowledgeable poetry about visual art, Djelloul Marbrook has made a book almost as good as visiting a museum. In fact, the poems here about museums, galleries, and studios are as penetrating as the ones about the art. Marbrook has lived in a world inhabited by paintings (both his mother and his aunt were noted painters) and these poems testify to years of careful seeing. BRUSHSTROKES AND GLANCES is an intimate book, rich with sly humor, sharp detail, and deep engagement. I will see my own favorite works of art with new attention for having read these beautiful poems"--Maggie Anderson.
Brushstrokes and Glances Djelloul Marbrook 9780982810019 Books
Djelloul Marbrook is one of those colossal poets able to bridge worlds--poetry and art, heart and mind--with rare wit, grace, and sincerity; a soft-spoken artist with the courage to face the "fatal beckoning" of his muse. Here is crisp intellect, seamlessly interwoven with loss and longing. The result is poetry at its best: at once both gritty and refined, private and political, tender and tough as iron. Again, Marbrook has given readers of contemporary poetry something well worth reading.Product details

Brushstrokes and glances by Djelloul Marbrook enables us to see a vision with an economy of words, to feel an emotion with images and adjectives, and glimpse into the heart and soul of a poet. His poems are to be savored, to be read slowly, and to be tasted as if they were a rare wine...sniffed, sipped, and then consumed. His words paint a vista left with shadows for the reader to interpret. Totally enjoyable!
I envy Djelloul Marbrook and I am grateful to him. I envy his ability to inhabit a painting, to leave a dark state of mind and enter a world that transcends our own sometimes frightening often banal world. I'm grateful that his talent and grace grant me access to that world through his book of poems Brushstrokes and glances. Art for Mr. Marbrook - particularly painting - is not merely a collection of objects to be admired. Art is a place that beckons; paintings are to be visited - as alive and dimensional as a mountaintop, a city street, or church or temple. As in those places we can order our lives in front of a great work, find meaning in brushstrokes. As he says in Picasso's bull We need a museum to show us/we can unbind our captive lives. Djelloul Marbrook's triumph is not only that he can experience art the way most of us cannot it is also that he can articulate his vision and share it in this beautifully crafted book of poems. Brushstrokes and glances is an invitation to "lift the curse of containment" (see A naming spree). It is an invitation well worth accepting.
