How to Make an America

£12.99

How to Make an America is a poetic exploration of a road trip across the American West delivering fresh and vivid impressions of its vastness and diversity. It reflects upon mythologisation, mediated perception and reality with arresting imagery which draws echoes of Steinbeck, Kerouac and the landscapes of Hopper. The poetry is interspersed with striking artwork by London artist Trish Wylie and photographs by the author bringing word and image together in unique ways. This is a book of travel poetry, psycho geography, cultural exchange and visual treat which is an intellectual and aesthetic delight.
