From Publishers Weekly:

artially inspired by Viktor Shklovsky (who wrote that "clothes say that we reserve to ourselves the symbol of our body as fate"), Clotheslines: A Collection of Poetry and Art pairs poems and artworks on facing pages. Editor Stan Tymorek (Home: A Collection of Poetry and Art) puts Warhol's screenprint "Letter to the World (The Kick), Martha Graham" with Diane Wakoski's "The Pink Dress." Lines from Lorine Neidecker ("The need/ these closed-in days// to move before you/ smooth-draped/ and color-elated// in a favorable wind") appears with Egon Schiele's "Portrait of a Woman," among other provocative pairings.
