Plankhouse Poems and Photographs

In this 8 1/2 x 11 book, Shelby Stephenson writes about growing up on the coastal plains of eastern North Carolina in the 1940's & 1950's. He describes the rapidly disappearing rural life in a series of short, intensely visualized sketches. Photographer Roger Manley uses a wide-angle panoramic camera to photograph the flat, limited vistas of the coastal plains that provided the context for Stephenson's vignettes. The resulting book is an exciting synergy of image & word.Stephenson, Shelby is the author of 'Plankhouse Poems and Photographs' with ISBN 9780933598409 and ISBN 0933598408.
