"The imperishable quiet at the heart of form." This quietness to be found by contemplating the photographs of Maude Schuyler Clay was at the heart of Ann Fisher-Wirth's poetic process, which involved listening--listening to the voices that spoke their stories somehow in connection, however oblique, with the photographs. Clay is a seventh-generation Mississippian; Fisher-Wirth has lived there for 30 years, so the images and words represent long, complicated accumulations and recombinations of visual and linguistic experience.

Seller's Description:
Clay, Maude Schuyler, Photographer. VG to Fine in Very Good jacket. Leftwing Environmental Poetry The publisher bills itself as producing "...Fine multicultural literature since 1975." The author of the poems was born in Washington, D.C. and lived as a child in Germany, Pennsylvania, Japan and Berkeley, California. Both the poems and the photography are strange, gloomy and depressing, apparently representing the disdain and contempt of the artists for the state of Mississippi. Unlike the poet, the photographer was actually born in the state of Mississippi.
