Description

Parenthese. Lavender cover of thick paper with various dots and speckles. Pair of parentheses in dark purple in the center of the front, with title and author letterpress without ink above and below. Contents open with a poem, then 10 photos taken by the author on the right side under a glassine page. Colophon at back. Unpaginated “Under the watchful eyes of my children—a newborn son and a seven-year-old daughter—I began capturing moments within the framework of our home. Returning to New Brunswick during the extreme moment of the pandemic, I rediscovered the landscapes, sounds, and language of my own childhood, seen anew through my children’s eyes. These photographs are an exploration of connection, growth, and the tender intersections of past and present.”
