Endless: A Literate Passion by
Anne Tammel
Artist
Eric Anfinson, creator of the cover art for Endless, titled “Anais and Henry,” explains:
"I
found myself taken to many places and into different periods of time…Anne's writing
is intimate, tactile, rhythmic and vast.”
Of the
painting, “Anais and Henry,” which Anfinson
created from his impressions of the book, the artist shares:
“The male, Henry Miller is focused on the lady in red dress, a combination of Anne Tammel and Anais Nin…Passion corners us, yet we yearn to be there…The balcony, the space of their relationship, is surrounded by beauty and perils . . . Miller is seated; his power is an intellect and internal passion . . . with the silk red journal, positioned between them, ''and red silk journals are covered in sweat and secrets . . .'' Water, sky, and land allow for the endless waves, sky, and travel, and also represent the emotions, conscious, and unconsciousness of our lives . . .”

"ENDLESS is
a mantic book, the handiwork of a sorceress and magicienne,
of one whose gifts with language and perception transform the sublunary and
timely into pictures of dynamic affect...to put the collection aside is suddenly
to see a landscape in a new light where grey and white are perpetually moving
but without invention or causality. It is refreshing and rare to read such
flawless poetry. Hence, ENDLESS is made into an object I
return to frequently and continue to keep with me." ~ Kevin McGrath,
Harvard University |
"ENDLESS reads
like a love letter . . . I feel I'm inside a museum of daring sculptures, a
Grecian sun glinting off the bone white marble. The
collection––voluptuous. Its rhythms searching, sensual, and
authentic 'like a wife--an insatiable wife...a lover of silk...and
words...and your breath,' finding the authentic voice within the poet's
internal theater. I slipped easily into these literary shoes to stride
confidently across the stage. Whether she
walks with the beatniks or Mephistopheles, Tammel enters Borge’s questioning labyrinth, and we leave her archetypal
maze deeply touched . . . changed.”"
~ Lois P. Jones, Kyoto Poetry
Journal
"Moving page by page through the red silk
journals of the heart, Anne Tammel takes the reader
on a journey through a historical and literary landscape so vibrant, so vividly
and generously splashed with color and love that it could only be explored
through poetry. Here is a woman, who, much like the great artists about whom
she writes, not only looks at the world with extraordinary, resplendent vision,
but who has the courage and talent to offer that vision beautifully to the
world."
~ Melissa Studdard, I Ate the Cosmos for Breakfast
“Lovely, lovely! A most impressive,
artistic collection that definitely will be enjoyed by all and everyone...”
~Anders Dahlgren, Mediterranean
