| book description |

The newest volume in the beloved ekphrasis series focuses on dance and poetry through the eyes of one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s greatest critics â€œI am interested at the moment in recalling to you how it looks when one sees dancing as non-professionals do, in the way you yourselves I suppose look at pictures, at buildings, at political history or at landscapes or at strangers you pass on the street. Or as you read poetry.â€ â€”Edwin Denby After starting his career as a dancer with companies and troupes in Germany and Switzerland, Edwin Denby moved to Manhattan, where he formed friendships with prominent members of the New York School, including Frank Oâ€™Hara and John Ashbery, and artists such as Rudy Burckhardt. In his critical writing, he brought his experience as a dancer to the page along with a poetâ€™s sensibility, distinguishing himself as an authority through delicate observation and illustrative prose. This collection of writings highlights Denbyâ€™s interdisciplinary scope and range of expression, as well as his sharp, singular voice and empirical sensibility toward all works of art. This Still Moment pairs Denbyâ€™s landmark essays on dance criticism and portraits of major performers, such as Vaslav Nijinsky, with selections of his poetry. The writer and editor Cal Revely-Calder further contextualizes Denbyâ€™s life and work in his insightful introduction.
