Three Modern Painters

by Gadi Ben-Yehuda

Summary

Three Modern Painters , a collection of poetry released by SuckerPunch Press in advance of National Poetry Month, veers from the prophetic to the profane in a roller coaster that covers the physical landscape of postmodern America, the emotional terrain of besieged masculinity, and the spiritual plains of Judaism in its 58th century. The three themes are represented by the painters Jasper Johns, Jackson Pollock, and Marc Chagall, and are evoked in moving and often surprising tableaus by the author, Gadi Ben-Yehuda.
