Watching and waiting/
Layers of life
still to live/
Wound up in fabric.
James Baldwin (1924-1987), by Van
Vechten, 1955.
Fun fact about Baldwin: he went to high school (DeWitt Clinton in the Bronx) with Richard Avedon--both worked on the high school paper!
In this clip from James Baldwin: The Price
of the Ticket, the 1989 American Masters documentary made about his
life, Baldwin discusses his early life in Harlem.
