FROM THE BOOK
"The alliance of Waldrop’s writing to his pictures and of his pictures to his writings is marked by meaningful cross currents, both as regards his procedures and his general artistic stances. Air in one is coeval with the air in the other. Borders and horizons sway; the 'unbeheld', a space of proximities and distances, desire above all, melancholy above all, mark both picture and poem. What is enunciated and what is withheld in one medium rhymes with the enunciation and absences in the other… Jean Cocteau famously wrote in Dessins, 'Poets don’t draw, they unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again but differently.' In Keith Waldrop’s case, what is unraveled is not perhaps handwriting (though it is that too), but the poem as work of collage—a kind of aerial feat that attempts to delineate the unbridgeable spaces between things through the construction of artifacts into form, both visual and verbal."
