Eliot Possessed explores the influence of Edward FitzGerald’s Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám on T. S. Eliot’s life and poetry. D’Ambrosio traces Eliot’s early fascination with the poem, his enduring conflict with its ideas, and the ways that struggle helped shape his own poetic work.

 This is a colorfully narrative poem by New York poet Vinnie-Marie D'Ambrosio lavishly illustrated with complex and playful woodcut prints by Karen Kunc. Inspired by the real home of painters Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, this tale creates a rebirth of life through the grand feast day of death, el Dia de los Muertos. The book visually creates a life-size calavera for vertical display. 1993. Blue Heron Press.
