New York & Boston: Bulfinch Press Book/Little, Brown and Company, (2000) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - A unique copy of this beautiful book, one published to co-incide with the HBO documentary on his life and work. In it, Parks (at age 87) "turns his skills as a photographer, poet, and composer to the universally appealing theme of love.[It] combines exquisite female nudes with still lifes, poetry, and original music. The female nudes are both sensuous and reverential: the rich colors are complimented by the still lifes of flowers and mysterious abstracts. The eighteen previously unpublished poems trace the arc of love- from infatuation through loss and, finally, fulfillment." This copy is INSCRIBED by Parks on the half title page and dated in 2002. In addition, tipped onto this page are two small snapshots, one of Stephanie Parker (one of the models in this book), with Parks, and the other of Parks, Stephanie Parker, award-winning producer Lucia Kaiser and former NYC Mayor, David Dinkins, both with short hand-written notes on verso by Stephanie Parker. A CD of 'A Star for Noon Suite' written by Gordon Parks, and with him on the piano, is affixed to the rear pastedown. Large square format. Blue cloth boards and spine with pictorial endpapers. 108 pp 4to. ISBN: 0-821226851.
