Poems about art have a long and vivid history, and some of our greatest poets have tried to capture in verse the beguiling worlds of colour on canvas. Geoff Dyer's remarkably wide-ranging selection encourages us to look at familiar and unfamiliar paintings and artists with fresh eyes. We find ourselves in Vermeer's studio next door to a rowdy alehouse and meet a Bonnard nude day-dreaming in her bathtub.
