"...Margaretta Mitchell's photographs give faces to, make a serial portrait of, the social facts, and give us also a series of portraits of individual artists to
set against the poems, where at best an interesting space might grow up between the poems and the faces looking out from the photographs,
in the conversation between the two art forms. The face of poetry is, finally, in the poems themselves, which returns us to the fact of reading.
Finally, it is the poems that matter, and when the poems matter, so does the culture that produces them and the social history of this art form in a
given time and place, which the photographs convey. The poems matter if they come to life inside readers."
