Recenzii
The authors of the resonant essays in Dinah Lenney's beautifully edited anthology explore the poignant mysteries embedded in even the most unassuming snapshot, reminding us that, while a photograph is a record of a vanished moment, it is also alive to the ongoing evolution of memory and self-knowledge.
Snapshots gets at the complexity of ekphrastic writing in our contemporary moment - highlighting the ways in which a photograph still prompts intellectual interrogation, and revealing the intricacies of creating literary work through the careful exploration of an image.
Snapshots embodies the best version of ekphrasis: the images catapult the writers' imaginations, drawing from one art form, transforming it into another, then offering it to the reader to keep the conversation going. This collection speaks from art, through pages, with words so inviting you could listen for days on end.
