The sections in Lenore Myers's Afterimages are aptly called galleries, for the reader will find in them a poet's explorations of paintings, sculptures, and other artworks (Balthus, DeFeo, Tarkovsky, and others). These artworks are deconstructed and reconstructed with sharp-eyed linguistic grace and originality as the poet reveals these artworks as collaborations among artists, subjects, and viewers. The collection evolves into a mind's deep inquiry, skillfully shared to become the reader's inquiry. Memories of people and places are woven throughout: family brutalities, complexities, and tendernesses. Afterimages offers the reader the pleasure, discomfort, and understanding gained through an artful response to life.
