| Summary: | Poetry and painting have enjoyed a long life together, with artists like Cy Twombly and Joan Mitchell using poetry in their works and poets like John Ashbery and Ron Padgett working closely with visual artists. The tradition of artists and poets collaborating continues in You Can't Have It All. This elegant and intimate book presents Ras's poem "You Can't Have It All," which has enjoyed a long life of appreciation by many fans worldwide. Enthusiastic readers, writers, workshop leaders, Buddhist practitioners and poetry therapists have used the poem to mark occasions, teach classes and inspire students. Paintings by Terrell James elevate the lines of the poem to a new level of resonance. She often turns to poetry for inspiration in her studio. For James, a poem reflects the knowledge from the entire life of the poet, and she often uses lines from poems as titles for artworks. |
