Internal Images
A brilliant conceived collection of poems inspired by daguerreotypes. From “Poe talked to the camera” to “No man quarrels with his shadow” this is an intriguing, in depth sequence of poems exploring the internal landscapes of each image. Well-known and unknown portraits figure in Penha’s concise poetry. Each verse is different, reflecting the differing personalities feared. Definitely a re-reader!
