Hi Julia:

Thanks for your lovely comment. The essay comes from a rare and extraordinary book, VERUSCHKA: TRANSFIGURATIONS. The 60's supermodel Lehndorff worked with photographer Holger Trulzsch to create haunting, transcendent, brilliant, sublime - words fail me - transformations of her body. You must see this book. If your library does not have it, get it on inter-library loan. I only have put in part of the essay, (i typed it in from the book) there is much more, and it is as intense.

I absolutely love your work. I've been an admirer for a while now.

But I wanted to ask you something I've been meaning to about the Susan Santog piece you have up from Fragments of an Aesthetic of Melancholy. I was wondering where I could find this book. Or, well, whatever it is actually. I've lately been very taken with her work but I just can't seem to find this piece.

If you could help me, it would mean the world to me. Thank you

Hi, James,
I find your photo work very interesting, and I share your interest in Borges. I was looking for an English translation to show it to my colleagues in a class on the Origins of Language, at the 92nd st Y, given by an excellent prof: Noam Scheindlin, and found yours. It's a beautiful poem, isn't it; it mentions, among many other scholarly tips, Plato's "Cratylus", which we read in class. I assume you read Spanish, so you may want to take a look at my own blog, which has some English translations -made by myself- of my poems in Spanish.
Best, Irene
