For Auguste Rodin, the hands were a crucial part of the body. He once said: "[Hands] say so much without being able to speak." This collection of poems seeks to interpret the various gestures of the hands of the great sculptor and other artists, giving them a "biography" on paper, a voice in a fast-moving world where emotion often takes a back seat to materialism. How does a clenched hand react to sorrow differently than a cast hand of Chopin? Does a sculpture of two hands have more to say than that of one? This book interprets these timeless questions while inviting the reader to come to their own conclusions.
