New Paltz, New York:: sunburn editions,, 1997.. Open Edition. 5.25 x 6.5"; 54 pages. Laser printed, spiral binding with cloth covers. Photography. Into Focus / Art on Science Exhibition (1998): "Is science wholly objective? Should it be? Ann Lovett's chilling book Sight Unseen places side-by-side clinically titled photographs of eye afflictions and the story of a woman whose lover blinds her. This is not an indictment, but certainly underscores the cool detachment of medical science." Afterward: "This book is based on the true story of Linda Riss, who was blinded when Burton Pugach, the man she had been dating, hired three men to throw lye in her face. He was convicted and served prison time for his crime. She married him when he was released and lives with him today. He was recently acquitted of charges that he had sexually abused and threatened to kill the woman with whom he openly admits having a 5-year affair. His wife testified as a character witness for him,… Read More

New Paltz, New York:: Ann Lovett,, 2006.. Edition of 16. 3.9 x 5.75"; 48 pages. Pigmented ink jet print on rag paper. Coptic binding sewn through accordion-pleated sheets. Rice paper endsheets. Bound in green silk-wrapped hard covers. Ann Lovett: "The title, with obvious reference to the souvenir, means to remember in French. Se Souvenir is about Normandy, France, and the memorials and beaches commemorating the D-Day invasion during the second World War. It’s also about Max, my ex-father-in-law, whom I never met. He was wounded in the second wave of the invasion and survived, and the old photographs are of him as a soldier. "The photographs of Max maintain the fiction that all is well, presenting a smiling uniformed soldier who looks healthy and whole. Like most family photographs, the agenda here is to show life as you want it to be, orderly, stable, rich with family and friends, and service to country, not necessarily as it is. Little in these pictures speaks of the… Read More

Notes from Favole in Versi: "Giacomo Leopardi was born in Recanati on 29 June 1798, the eldest of 10 children of Count Mondaldo and Adelaide of the Antici marquises. In 1908 he wrote his first poem - the sonnet: 'La morte di ettore' - and other compositions in prose and verse. Between 1809 and 1812 he wrote what are defined as childhood poems or puerile critti. The childish writings are practically the preparation for his creative production, the one to which Giacomo Leopardi owes his fame. Among them are, among other things, some fables, which were widely published after his death. The fairy tale was a typically eighteenth-century… Read More
