The first in a colorful new series, RED captures the multitudinous ways poets perceive and respond to the color red in all its varied shades and names. A broad and bold collection (how could red be otherwise?), from early masters to contemporary voices both notable and new, RED is a treasured gem for all who are dazzled by the interplay between color and words. Reading RED, one is irresistibly covered in the color as if “totally saturated with it,” as Mark Rothko wrote of Henri Matisse’s painting The Red Studio. Softcover, 8" x 8", with 6 full-color inserts, 204 pages
