Lois Read, retired teacher of Art and Art History from Hopkins School, fell in love with words early, listening to her Grandmother recite poetry as they did the dinner dishes, later reciting it herself in “elocution class.” She can't remember not loving color. For more than thirty years she painted the landscapes in New England, the south of France, Greece, and Mexico, reveling in color and light. The poems in Breathing Color bring words and colors together in ways that reveal Read's lifetime of observing and responding to everyday events, and hint at the transcendental import of light.
Breathing Color Poems by Lois Read Lois Read 9781484080627 Books
Lois Read's verbal brushwork in "Breathing Color," a collection of poems that meldsvisual imagery, allusions to the visual arts, and the singing colors of diverse
topographical or "place" poems, evokes the classical concept of "ut picture poesis"--
a speaking picture. What radiates from her poems is not merely an impasto of
description but the pulmonary [spiritual breath of life] processing of coloring vision.
Like Arachne's singing tapestries, she hangs variegated scenes and topics from the museum
of her mind--landscapes exhaled as the mood-scapes of her iridescent memory in arresting
lines like the Easter event in which an angel dabs a paintbrush in liquid sunlight, swipes
it against the twig-tops "next to skunk cabbage:/ a chartreuse shout/ in rose-brown woods."
Wading into Lois Read's gallery of tones and techniques is, as she suggests in "Purple
Shorts," like a swim "through raspberry swirls." Or to conclude, knitting diamonds of
colors into "Argyle Socks" in Philosophy 101 that profundities do not suit everyone; that
joy accrues from patterned descendants that "found form as I struggled/ To be what I am not."
"Breathing Color" is a joy of many hues.
