Kenmore: Poem Unlimited Vol. Two

Photos Unlimited (260 Pages)



To avoid smarmy poems that recall my childhood I choose to create a book of photo poems. Using no text these poems narrate a photographic study of a town. But not any town, the town I grew up in. This is a wonderful village just outside of Buffalo, New York, and is as wonderful and as it is dull. There are moments of excitement, sure. They happen all over and even now, the lights of a police car rush down the street.

The premise of this work is rejuvenation as these photo poems detail Kenmore in the 21st century. Through an extreme ice storm, the destruction and construction of a one-story school into a set of new homes, a springtime in bloom, and many other things that are just outside of my door.
