Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 150 pages. Published in 1999. Retrospective collection of photographs juxtaposed with original poetry, presented as an Artist Book. One of the most beautiful photography books of our time. The first and only edition. Published in a small and limited print run as a softcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. An austerely elegant production by Marissa Roth and Joseph Guglietti: Oversize-volume format. Pictorial softcovers with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Marissa Roth. Poetry by Jessica Hagedorn. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper by EBS in Verona, Italy to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Marissa Roth's "Burning Heart". The best photographic record of a moment in time: Deeply moving photographs of a country at a time of difficult change, accompanied (like contrapuntal music) by Jessica Hagedorn's melodious, pulsating, and vibrant poetry. The collapse of the Marcos dictatorship and the ascent of Corazon Aquino to power did not lead to a power vacuum or chaos, but to a problematic, fragile yet genuine democracy - whose spirit and substance have now largely dissipated. One of the 20th century's greatest democracy figures, Aquino coined the term "People Power", and became the first Woman President of her country. She appears in the collection, in the single most beautiful unposed photograph ever taken of her, from among literally thousands that exist. For many, if not most, Filipinos, her "People Power" revolution is now a distant memory. Which makes these photographs more, not less, evocative and valuable. Roth, a Jewish-American, won the Pulitzer Prize in 1993 for her coverage of the Los Angeles 1992 riots. She was commissioned by The Museum of Tolerance/Simon Wiesenthal Center to photograph seventy of the remaining Holocaust survivors. The exhibition in 2005 was a sensation and the book, "Witness To Truth", published in 2009. In a celebrated New Yorker Magazine review, Hagedorn, a Filipino-American, was praised by John Updike, the most influential reviewer/critic in America of his time, as one of the most brilliant writers of her generation. An absolute "must-have" title for Marissa Roth and Jessica Hagedorn collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated (on the day of publication), and inscribed in black ink-pen on the first image by the photographer: "Dear Carole, From the bottom of my heart. Thank you so much for being so supportive of my work. It has meant a lot to me. With warmest regards, Marissa Roth April 11, 1999". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. The recipient, Carole Kismaric, a book designer, historian/scholar, and curator/author, is one of the most important figures in the history of photography. This title is a contemporary photography classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, publication-day dated, and inscribed copy of the First Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare signed copy thus. 45 duotone plates. Two of the most brilliant American artists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JESSICA HAGEDORN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0847821641.
