AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In this collection, Reiter extends his experiments with "fusion poetry" to focus on Paul Gauguin, who spent years in Tahiti musing on the fate of artists, especially Vincent Van Gogh, with whom he'd had a stormy relationship at Arles, France.'

Notes

Author note: "The idea for this book came from the time I spent in Tahiti and the Cook Islands in 1994. My visit to the Gauguin Museum while in Tahiti and my discovery of The Lagoon is Lonely Now by Ronald Symes, a journalist who spent many years living in the Cook Islands, prompted me to write a book that would counterpoint their experiences and impressions of island life with those of more familiar voices."
Dedication: For Paul and Vincent and those who keep the best stuff for themselves.
