It is a delight to the eye and intellect to spend time with photographer/poet Stephanie Blair Mitchell's new book of poetry, Viewfinder. Here, Mitchell, who has experience as a news photographer for the Boston Herald and has been Harvard University's Director of Photography for over 25 years, brings a poet's sensibility to iconic photos from history up to the present day. The book opens with a poem inspired by Joseph Nicephore Niepce's c 1826 heilograph, View from the Window at le Gras and Mitchell's words, "Escher sketch/ in binary light and shadow/ Sun writing/ lavender oil and petroleum/ on a pweter plate ...." Later, the poet observes in her poem "Art of the Portrait," "it's a delicate proposition/ asking a person/ to face their face...." All in all, this book is bound to provide stimulating perspectives for the discerning reader. The book is available from Finishing Line Press, Bookshop.org, Amazon, and elseshere.
