Eric Anfinson, artist, explains: "Anne's writing is intimate, tactile, rhythmic and vast...I found myself taken to many places and into different periods of time...The image is a sensual, intimate mirror of the way the ''Endless'' moved me..."
About the painting, Anais & Henry, Anfinson shares: "Henry Miller is focused on the lady in red dress, a combination of Anne Tammel and Anais Nin...Passion corners us, and yet we yearn to be there...The balcony, the space of their relationship, is surrounded by beauty and perils...Miller is seated...with the silk red journal 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 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..." ~ Lois P. Jones, Kyoto Poetry Journal
"ENDLESS is sensual, spiritual, exotic, human…a work of profound, enduring beauty…These are the seven days of creation, and as the poet herself remarks, the ‘red silk journals are covered in sweat.'” ~ Kevin McGrath, Harvard University
"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 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 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 Poetry

Endless: A Literate Passion
Anais Nin to Henry Miller
My search for you is endless…
Searching, seeming
like a wife, an insatiable wife. A lover
of silk...and words...and your breath.
You taunt me; a lost baby rests
at the tip of my torture. Your torment
travels through me as I travel
morning trains, and cafes--
Paris, and ships to Spain—and then
America…where I will fight
not to remember your name.
An endless list of lovers, knowing
only my wholeness, my silhouette
parfaite. If they knew--if they were
seized by you—seized
by your words, fighting
to forget the supreme
immolation of
the ego:
motherhood,
that endless,
volatile curse.
And Hugh waits, an endless trail
of dull husbandry; I wait
an endless amount of time,
until our lives
have become dust
and history,
and the red silk journals
are covered
in sweat
and secrets...
Book signed by the author; includes exclusive display poem insert on handcrafted Italian paper. Shipping included.
