Publisher's Synopsis
In this collaboration between two celebrated artists, Native American poet Eric Gansworth has written a book-length cycle of poems that interact with Milton Rogovin's photographs to form a unique experience, blending the written word and visual images. The poems and the photographs, taken over a period of forty years, reflect the journey from the Western Door of Seneca reservation culture-a culture distinctly different-to the lifestyles of Buffalo's Lower West Side.
Eric Gansworth's most recent book is A Half-Life of Cardio-Pulmonary Function.
Milton Rogovin has been photographing those he refers to as "the forgotten ones" for over five decades.
