| Synopsis: |
This is the second collaboration between Lebanese photographer Hanan Kazma and American poet Richard Leach, presenting twenty-seven of Kazma's photographs, twenty-six of Leach's poems inspired by them, and a poem by Kazma as well. Kazma continues to make expressive and meditative self-portraits, and to photograph city walls and buildings. Leach has written blues lyrics, an acrostic, metered and free verse in response. Some poems are delicate, others humorous, some bitingly political. Like their first collection, Unlike Things Must Meet, this book takes its title from the Herman Melville poem "Art," with which it concludes. |
