Description

Painter Jack Seigel died penniless and forgotten. He comes alive again in Silverberg’s Believing the Line, this new book of poetry-and-art celebrating the paintings and drawings by Jack Siegel. Seigel was the quintessential single-minded artist: difficult, self-absorbed, and completely dedicated to his work. George Payerle has written that “Jack Siegel was a lonely man who drew a world of humanity, one moment at a time.” Mark Silverberg’s 65 poems, an image at a time, stand as poignant tribute to those Seigel moments.
