In the grand corridors and multiplying backrooms of the Louvre, the history of the world and the history of art and the history of how we look and think about art and its place in our lives challenge and delight us at every corner. Few other public spaces are at once so haunted and so alive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA unique collaboration between New York Review Books and the Louvre Museum, \u003ci\u003eAt the Louvre\u003c\/i\u003e presents a hundred poems, newly commissioned exclusively for this volume, by a hundred of the world's most vibrant poets.
