Perloff was born in Washington, D.C., to Marjorie Perloff, a professor and poetry critic, and Joseph K. Perloff, a professor of medicine and pediatrics and cardiologist.
Faced with Nazi terror, her family emigrated in 1938 when she was six-and-a-half, going first to Zürich and then to the United States, settling in Riverdale, New York.
Marjorie Perloff interprets the painting as "enigmatic" (34) in her book "The Poetics of Indeterminacy: Rimbaud to Cage" (Princeton UP: 1999).
