ELSA DORFMAN IS A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER AND WRITER FROM CAMBRIDGE M.A. HER PORTRAITS OF POETS, WRITER AND OTHERS DATE TO THE EARLY 60'S. SHE PREVIOUSLY COLLABORATED WITH ROBERT CREELEY ON THE BOOK HIS IDEA. Poetry. Photographs. Robert Creeley and Elsa Dorfman bring us the real news of the different ways the word 'family' has been made to leap beyond its lexical meanings. Poet and photographer register how family is being re-envisioned by those who live as individuals within a 'securing center.' Beginning with, and subverting, 'I wandered lonely as a cloud,' William Wordsworth's quintessential Romantic image of the self, Creeley writes a poem whose formal structure, its interlocking, echoing pattern of rhymed quatrains, challenges our assumptions about the legacy of Romantic and Modernist poetry. It is not that their legacy or the family should endure in some rigid manner; it's that they have changed and are changing still -- John Yau. A hardback original, EN FAMILLE includes 22 color photographs. The photographs in the book are all signed and printed under the photograph. This book is in good condition. It has no dust cover as published. There are some grubby marks on the front cover especially at the top of the front cover but there are no tears of any kind. The inside of the book and colour photographs are as new.
