American Flowers

Poetry. Photography. From the winner of the Poetry Society of America's Fellowship, Tyler Flynn Dorholt brings us a book that is as much poetry as it photography as it documentary. Captured during a cross–country trip, Dorholt wrote and photographed the intimate moments of lives often overlooked. From the boroughs of New York City to the plains of Iowa, from Maine to California the poems and photographs relive an experience as rich and as deep as the country it's dedicated to. "Muscular, intricate, dazzling, simultaneously homeopathic and ardent, the constantly reinventing and cross-pollinating language to be encountered in these pages is enduring in the most unostentatious sense of the word. AMERICAN FLOWERS is a gift to lyricism itself."—Joe Milazzo
