"Weston's Unsent Letters to Modotti inhabits the fluid space between history and imagination," says Kathleen Jesme. "Parmenter's extended persona poem deftly investigates the named but uncommunicated, that which is unfinished, unsent, unlived. Weston exists only as an eye behind the photographic lens, and is unable to fully inhabit the rest of the world, or to send the letters he writes to his sometime model and lover."
