Book Reviews of Eyes with Winged Thoughts: Poems and Photographs
Book Review: Two sides of genius
Summary: 4 Stars
This book reveals another side of famed photographer Gordon Parks. He has accompanied arresting photographic shots with poetry -- his own original works. Poetry, it seems, came to him as naturally as his picture taking. It was an innate gift.
Parks, born black and the last child of many produced by his sharecropper parents, transcended all the limitations set upon him in his time and place. I suspect he even surprised himself. He was not only a prize-winning photographer, but a poet, musician, film director, and author.
This book gives glimpses into his complicated and fascinating soul through combining two forms of his artistic talents.
