Photorealism by Andrew W. Szilvasy
There is this photo of Marianne Moore beside a pony in Greenwich Village that like a nun fingering beads I thumb to at odd hours to contemplate her wide smile not yet set beneath the trifold hat, but imprisoned only by those hard enjambments and her mother, whom Bishop loathed. But no matter how much I want to pity her, that smile reminds me only that we make our own prisons and then love them. # # # Photo: Thomas Ulrich
