Accompaniments is a lyrical collection of short stories and essays by Mary Di Lucia, published by Red Hook Editions. The book was conceived as a textual dialogue with photographer Igor Posner’s “Past Perfect Continuous,” a visual study of St. Petersburg. Di Lucia’s prose navigates the boundaries between reality and the subconscious, moving from the frozen reaches of Siberia to the psychological interiors of the home. Her work examines how individuals accompany one another through time and trauma, creating a literary tapestry that complements the haunting, high-contrast imagery of Posner’s photographs.
