Winner of the 2008 Hollis Summers Poetry Prize Photographing Eden
presents the first full-length collection of poems by a major new
talent. The work meditates on several ideas, the crux of which is
Eden: spirituality, environmentalism, and the relationships between
men and women. Observing, often through the lens of a camera, our
state in the world, the poems try to focus sharply on what often
seems a blur. The poems are always attentive to artistic mediums
and the craft behind them because our struggle is to make something
perfect in the imperfect world in which we live, while
acknowledging the impossibility of that quest. Gray's poems range
all over, from adventures in Egyptian ruins with machine-gun-toting
tourist police to the western edge of the foggy Irish coastline,
and to the mythic past, where Adam and Eve visit a zoo and Eden has
become a nature preserve.
