What Are We? Where Are We Going? by Paul Gauguin, intended as the painter's final artistic testimony, is the inspiration and framework for this book. In one way, The Gauguin Answer Sheet focuses on the intricate details of the painting and offers its lush Tahitian landscape and charactersa black dog, a pair of conspirators, a shy woman, a pleading goddess, and a crouching mummy, among many others. In another sense, Dennis Finnell deeply probes the underlying implicationsand personal associationsthe painting offers.The poem's own questions, suggested by those in the painting's title, are concerned with origins, identities, and futuresof the poet and others. Finnell reflects on the plight of the characters portrayed in Gauguin's painting and imagines their thoughts and feelings about life in the world outside. Along with his ruminations on these imagined characters, Finnell visits his own family history, reflecting on the lives of earlier generations, to affirm the shared nature of each individual's origins and identities. Through his poetry, time and space, painting and history, and imagination and reality interconnect and offer an unusually imaginative, surprising work of art. About the Author DENNIS FINNELL is the author of two additional books of poetry, Red Cottage and Belovd Beast (Georgia). He is the winner of the 1990 Juniper Prize and a grant from the Ludwig Vogelstein Foundation. He lives in Deerfield, Massachusetts.
