Phillip Guston once said, "It's the bareness of drawing that I like." Of course, he would be drawn to poetry also because poetry is words at a minimum revealing the maximum. The collaboration of William Corbett and Guston is interesting. Braider's many layered piece expects much from his listeners. Extremely thoughtful, in addition to being appropriate for National Poetry Month, this piece would work well in conjunction with a group of pieces about collaborations between artists from the literary and art worlds. I liked Braider's ending about how a painter reads a poem, how a poet reads a picture.
