Synopsis

Combining documentary Found Poems with ekphrastic poems and imaginative lyrics, Georgia and Alfred places two imagined voices - painter Georgia O'Keeffe's and photographer Alfred Stieglitz's - in interaction with the poet's voice. The work gathers together moments of their complicated relationship as collectible pieces, miniature realities that retouch, doctor, enlarge, or crop fact in order to capture humanness and art before they burn in time. As he did in various ways in his previous books of poetry, Garebian experiments with poetic personae and the voice as mask--or to put it poetically, mind's photos, mouth's poems, images which are the impossible puzzle of who we are and why.
