Murano

Mark Doty won the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Non-Fiction for his memoir "Heaven's Coast" and the Witter Bynner Prize for Poetry awarded by the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

This work pairs Mark Doty's elegy to his friend, Lynda Hull, with visual details of Murano glass. The poem originally appeared in "Sweet Machine" published by Harper Flamingo in 1998. The Murano glass is from the Getty collection.
