In this small and erudite tome, Jaccottet draws us into the very heart of the artist's calm and strangely haunting oeuvre. In his literary criticism, Jaccottet is known for deeply engaging with the work of his fellow poets and tenaciously seeking the essence of their poetics. In this, his only book-length essay devoted to an artist, his critical prose likewise blends empathy, subtle discernment, and a determination to pinpoint, or at least glimpse, the elusive underlying qualities of Morandi's deceptively simple, dull-toned yet mysteriously luminous paintings. \u003ci\u003eThe Pilgrim's Bowl\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkably elucidating study based on a profound admiration for and a dialogue with Morandi's oeuvre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilippe Jaccottet \u003c\/b\u003eis a major Swiss poet and critic, and a translator of works by Homer, Goethe, Hölderlin, Rilke, and Musil. \u003cb\u003eJohn Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e is a literary critic and the translator of many books.
