<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>It sounds like a simple thing, to say what you see, Mark Doty begins. But try to find words for the shades of a mottled sassafras leaf, or the reflectivity of a bay on an August morning, or the very beginnings of desire stirring in the gaze of someone looking right into your eyes . . . Doty finds refuge in the sensory experience found in poems by Blake, Whitman, Bishop, and others. <i>The Art of Description </i>is an invaluable book by one of America's most revered writers and teachers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>MARK DOTY</b> is the author of eight collections of poetry, including <i>Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems</i>, which won the National Book Award for Poetry in 2008. He teaches at Rutgers University and lives in New York.</p>
