Photographs by Ruth Thorne-Thomsen Introduction by Denise Miller-Clark Poem by Mark Strand For Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, photography is theatre: the alleged credibility of the photographic image signifies to her a myth by which to "palm off fantasy as reality" while leading us to the kingdom where the human psyche dwells. Using a pinhole camera she constructed to achieve infinite depth of field, Thorne-Thompsen-a third generation woman photographer-creates images of the spirits quest for integration. In compositions at once mysterious, witty, and erudite, Thorne-Thomsen deftly employs archetyping, appropriation, and manipulation to invent landscapes where the individual and collective unconscious merge in an alluring and spirited dance. Ruth Thorne-Thomsen is the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Fellowships. Denise Miller-Clark has been director of The Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, since 1986, and Mark Strand is a Poet Laureate of the United States.

Edited by Cornelius Eady. A LIGATURE FOR BLACK BODIES attempts to re-humanize black bodies into black people by holding the power structures and people accountable who have reified a dominant and destructive discourse. The collection explores the meanings of seeing police officers killing black and brown people through their dash cams and body cams as they shoot them and everyday citizens standing witness and documentarian through their cellphones. A LIGATURE FOR BLACK BODIES highlights how these videos mirror pictures that lynching attendees took and/or sent as postcards across the country in the early to mid twentieth century. Our view of dying and dead bodies today, of African Americans made lifeless while surrounded by spectators, drives the manuscript. The found poems and persona poems read as police, prosecutor, and journalist's "confessions" to the deaths of the Black people recorded on today's visual media.A LIGATURE FOR BLACK BODIES roots these confessions in the truths of contemporary news articles, autopsy reports, court testimonies, verdicts, and sentences to illustrate how a white power structure seeks to make bodies out of black people. This conversation reveals a racially rooted power structure that creates and perpetuates racism and how black people have, much too often, had to reclaim these bodies systematically stripped of breath. The poems are evidence of Black peopleís continued American striving to convince that same power structure that black lives matter. The final poem, written in the voice of Sandra Bland and written to LaQuan McDonald and Tamir Rice, seeks to do just that. The poems refuse the narrative of black people as bodies only. Instead, their discourse creates a space where the poems re-member black people's dismemberment at the hands of white people through a journey of truth-telling.
