Henry Weinfield
is the author of several
collections of
poetry, most recently
The Sorrows of Eros and Other Poems
(University of
Notre Dame Press, 1999).
His translation of and commentary on the Collected
Poems of Stéphane Mallarmé
was published by the
University of California
Press in 1995 (paperback, 1996). His
verse-translation of
Hesiod's Works
and Days and Theogony,
done in collaboration
with Catherine
Schlegel, is forthcoming from the University of Michigan Press.
He is
also the author of a critical study of Gray's Elegy
and of many
articles
on English
and American poetry. He is currently working on a
collection
of new and selected
poems, which will be entitled Without
Mythologies.
Weinfield is professor and chair
of the Program of Liberal Studies at
the
University of Notre Dame.
Douglas Kinsey
is a painter and printmaker. He has had more than
70 solo
exhibitions
in the U.S. as well as in England, Japan, and Sweden.
He has
also illustrated with
monotypes many books by poets such as William
Borden,
Richard Burns, Barry
Goldensohn, Michael Lynch, and John Matthias. He
is a
professor emeritus at the
University of Notre Dame.
The Kinsey approach to the monotype is as a unique print
made by
running a
painting
on a piece of zinc through an etching press.
Sometimes
the
process is done more
than once in a single print. And sometimes
the print
is worked on directly with oil paint,
watercolor or pencil.
