Beyond Proust's madeleine we head toward a \"deli\" version of utopia, crafted from hamantaschen, cupcake, and cucumber. Interludes in Rome, Paris, and Cologne permit spells of fevered play with Italian, French, and German. Painting and its processes bring bright colors to the surface, as if the poet were trying to figure out anew the nature of blue, pink, orange. Ultramarine reaches across memory, back to Europe, beyond the literal world into dream-habitats conjured through language's occult structures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWayne Koestenbaum\u003c\/b\u003e--poet, critic, novelist, artist, performer--has published 21 books, including \u003ci\u003eUltramarine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Cheerful Scapegoat, Figure It Out, Camp Marmalade, My 1980s \u0026amp; Other Essays, The Anatomy of Harpo Marx, Humiliation, Hotel Theory, Circus, Andy Warhol, Jackie Under My Skin\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Queen's Throat\u003c\/i\u003e (nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award).
