Description

Internationally acclaimed Slovian artist Metka Krašovek created a suite of drawings inspired by the poems of Emily Dickinson. Editor Richard Jackson began gathering poems created in response to the drawings — fascinating and insightful examples of double ekphrasis. The Heart's Many Doors is a rich, cross-genre combination of writing and art that functions as a multi-faceted commentary on Dickinson, art and the creative process. 41 American poets contributed poems written in response to the artwork.

Author Biography:

Richard Jackson has published over twenty books, including thirteen books of poems, most recently Traversings, Retrievals, Out of Place, Resonancia, Half Lives: Petrarchan Poems, Unauthorized Autobiography: New and Selected Poems, and Heartwall. His translations include Alexsander Persolja’s Potvanje Sonca / Journey of the Sun and Giovanni Pascoli’s Last Voyage (Red Hen Press, 2010). With Susan Thomas and Deborah Brown, he edited the selected poems of Slovene poets, Iztok Osojnik and Tomaž Šalamun. He also edited nearly twenty chapbooks of poems from Eastern Europe. Metka KraŠovec celebrated her 70th birthday in 2012 with the opening of a retrospective exhibition of her work at the Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana—the first such retrospective ever given to a female contemporary artist by the museum. This suggests the esteem in which she is held—not only in Slovenian and European art but around the globe. Indeed, her work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the U.S., and two full-color books have been devoted to her work.
