"The
photos follow the poems they illustrate, which is a felicitous arrangement,
creating a kind of textual-visual dialogue. After
 |
reading
the exquisite "Actaeon", one of several poems based on
myth, in which a man suffers metamorphosis and death for having
glimpsed a naked deity, one turns to an equally exquisite photograph
of a nude figure stretched on the ledge of a glassy Maine quarry."
- Carl Little, Bangor Daily News
" …the first thing one notices about The Night Sky is
its exquisite design. Ample margins and careful imposition of text
allow the poems to fit comfortably on the page, enclosed in an elegant
black cloth binding. Gaylen Morgan, …contributes black and
white photographs that match perfectly the sensibility of each poem…
…the sheer beauty of the Morgan collaboration puts to rest
the notion that traditional books are irrelevant. This book should
be a part of everyone's library."
- Michael Peich, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A gorgeous book – the combination of poems and pictures
is striking and apt in every case."
- Mark Jarman
