About
"An accomplished painter as well as a singularly gifted poet, Clarence Major has said that he writes what he cannot paint. With a painter's eye and an ear for the nuances of daily speech, his new poems explore subtle exchanges, juxtaposing one shifting perspective with another. Major's poems look deeply into the very process of making art, into the imagination and the heart of its creation, and in Waiting for Sweet Betty they reveal a celebrated poet writing at the height of his powers."--BOOK JACKET.
