Cover photograph by Edward Weston, 'The White Iris' (1921). keywords: History America Biography. DESCRIPTION - Weston's Unsent Letters to Modotti inhabits the fluid space between history and imagination,' says Kathleen Jesme. Parmenter's extended persona poem deftly investigates the named but uncommunicated, that which is unfinished, unsent, unlived. Weston exists only as an eye behind the photographic lens, and is unable to fully inhabit the rest of the world, or to send the letters he writes to his sometime model and lover.' There's much more to this collection than the resurrection of a long-ago romance between two complex, at times politically revolutionary, characters. Parmenter examines the ethics of portraiture, the difficulties of artistic objectification, the intersection of the political and the aesthetic, and the impossibility of truly knowing the mind of another.' - Kevin Prufer. What's more evocative than an unsent letter? An untaken photograph. These epistolary meditations. imagine Edward Weston's fixation with his old lover, photographer Tina Modotti. Weston is a camera-superhero troubled by memories of the woman whose artistry matched his own.' - Penelope Pelizzon. inventory #42513.…
