From Ralph Lemon's introduction: [The book is] "a reimagined dance ["Persephone", originally choreographed by Ralph Lemon for the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival] in a series of tableaux surrounded by the wild, spring nature of the Berkshires, this collaboration of among choreographer, photographer, and dancers evolved in the presence of the mechanical and emotional perspective of the camera's lens. Through this collaboration we discovered a new method derived from both our mediums. The addition of inspired poems by Evan Boland and Rita Dove brings to this work the focus of language, the energy of sounds, many possible interpretations and the continued exploration of the possibilities that reside within the intersections of disparate art forms."
