Letters to Michelangelo from Wyoming is a collection of epistolary or letter poems to the Masters of the Italian Renaissance: Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Leonardo DaVinci and others. These letter poems were inspired from the poet Burt Bradleys journey to Italy with the celebrated Wyoming painter John Giarrizzo. They collaborated on drawings and poems as they visited Rome, Florence, and Milan. Not as tourists, but to see Italy through the eyes of their respective art. Their visit was a pilgrimage, particularly to meet the Old Masters up close and personal through their paintings and sculpture. Returning to Wyoming, Bradley found himself not ready to sever the rich connection with the Masters and began to see Wyomings beauty through their eyes. The poet drew inspiration from the letter poems of Richard Hugo, David Citino, and Jim Harrisons Letters to Yesenin, as well as Mark Twains Diaries of Adam and Eve and Letters from the Earth. Accompanying the poetic letters are Bradleys Italian poems that, along with Giarrizzos drawings, reflect upon the masterpieces of sculpture and painting: Michelangelos David, Berninis Fountain of the Four Rivers, and Caravaggios The Calling of St. Mathew, among others. The rich descriptions of these poems complement the Letters that narrate Bradleys own art of living in the rough-hewn beauty and weather-challenged landscape of Wyoming.
