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.
