Art & Death: A Collection of Prose & Poetry

by Marcus Reichert (Editor), Stephen Barber (Contributor), Antony Copley

A collection of observation and personal reminiscence on the precarious subject, written in language that is academic, poetic and sometimes, revealing, both. Aesthetics sit side-by-side with sentient expressions of despair in this collaboration that embraces the thoughts and feelings of art critics, philosophers, film-makers, poets, and painters. Art & Death questions the premise that death - in its various and ingenious forms - is a natural and therefore acceptable aspect of life, and reveals the many secret and transitory deaths that are manifest along life's passage.
