Author Author of the book upon which the photograph appears Shakely, Lauren Photograph Title Title of photograph Untitled 1968 [from 'The Somnambulist'] Book Genre Poetry Photographer Photographer Gibson, Ralph Designer Designer of book cover Not listed Notes Notes associated with the item The image on the cover of 'Guilty Bystander', was originally published in photographer Ralph Gibson's book, 'The Somnambulist', which came out in 1970. It was the first of a trilogy (the others being 'Deja Vu' and 'Days at Sea'), and published by Lustrum, Gibson's own press. Technically, a somnambulist is a sleepwalker, but Gibson used the title as metaphor for a kind of novel-without-words, dealing with the unconscious mind. This picture, of a silhouetted, haloed hand about to grasp a doorknob, appears early in 'The Somnambulist', and may be seen to symbolize the transition between the life of the world and the life of dreams. It is graphically compelling and open-ended enough in terms of meaning to represent the title of Lauren Shakely's book of poems.
