Alan Catlin fleshes out the complicated life of the photographer Diane Arbus through a vast diversity of perspectives ranging from Sadiko Murakami, Robert Lowell and even the bible (Matthew 17:17) to Arbus' own words in letters and journals. We meet the boy in Central Park with the hand grenade, Eddie Carmel, the Jewish Giant, Tiny Tim at Hubert's in Times Square and the cavalcade of freaks from Arbus's oeuvre in Catlin's uniquely original poetry, often linking photography and poetry together to produce this complex portrait of the artist. Lisette Model, Richard Avedon, Susan Sontag all weigh in, leading up to the eleven Untitled poems that complete this remarkable portrait. As Catlin asks at the end of a poem about Mother Cabrini, a disinterred saint, one of Arbus's subjects, All of this is normal, right?
