A BEAUTIFUL DAY - JIM DINE LEINEN

Jim Dine's poems are the voices between his paintings  the questions between his drawings  the
whispers and shouts between his sculptures: an unceasing  probing flow that augments and
energizes his visual work. Dine writes through a process of collage  arranging and re-arranging
fragments as they come to him  noting them on scraps of paper  on the studio wall  even (a
favorite medium) on the sick bags of airplanes.A Beautiful Day presents 16 poems  some are
recent pieces written during the intensity of corona quarantine  others are older creations he
has now rediscovered and re-shaped  as a sculptor returns to a work after many years with a
fresh eye and hand. As always  Dine's poetry is densely autobiographical and grapples with the
polarities of experience: with delight and melancholy  with criticism and celebration  with
nostalgia (Childhood mood   The soul   complete and elegant   Constructed of wishes   And
clouds)  rage (I ran into him at the airport    'I hope you die amiserable death   You fat
fascist fuck')  and  inevitably  the passing of time: The magic falls    Years go by    Hitting
the window   They get used up.
