In , I managed to see or be informed about a small number of newly published examples of photo-embedded literature by writers from Australia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Great Britain, Ukraine, and the United States. This preliminary listing for adds to my extensive bibliography of such books for the years from to the present that can be found underneath the pull-down menu Photo-Embedded Literature at the top of Vertigo. If you know of a book of photo-embedded fiction or poetry that I have not listed yet, please let me know in a comment anywhere on Vertigo.
My thanks to the many readers who have already pointed me to books that I had not known about. Yevgenia Belorusets. Lucky Breaks. NY: New Directions, Translated from the Russian original by Eugene Ostashevsky. In her timely book of stories about the impact of war on the ordinary women of Ukraine, writer and photojournalist Belorusets includes a group of twenty-three of her own photographs.
Maud Casey. City of Incurable Women. NY: Bellevue Literary Press, Joshua Edwards. The poem consists of twelve parts corresponding to the twelve months of the year with ten sections per part, each part containing ten lines. Every section is dated the 21st of the month. The joy of a long poem is that the poet can safely deal with minor details and daily events.
The book contains three photographs of the daytime sky. The Double Lamp of Solitude. Galveston: Rising Tide Projects, This is an ambitious book of poetry and photographs which Edwards has published without copyright and placed into the public domain.
Forrest Gander and Jack Shear. Sam Jenks. Magdalen Yard Books, With many photographs attributed to Koji Tsukada. Esther Kinsky. Berlin: Suhrkamp Verlag, A novel about the effects of two earthquakes on the lives of people in a small village in northeastern Italy.
