- Summary
- Combining the poetry of Robert Creeley with the photography of Elsa Dorfman, En Famille reflects on how the word "family" is open to interpretation in today's social climate. Usurping the words of William Wordsworth, "I wandered lonely as a cloud, " to begin his poem, Creeley places the romantic image of the self in a new light, one that suggests a new point of view from which family can be re-envisioned. Dorfman's photographs echo resonantly with Creeley's words, showing how -- as broken homes, free-willed independence, and non-traditional households become more prevalent -- the composition of the family need not be limited to those on the family tree.
