Thomas J. Lyon Book Award from the Western Literature Association A
Planetary Lens delves into the history of the photo-book, the
materiality of the photographic image on the page, and the cultural
significance of landscape to reassess the value of print, to locate
the sites where stories resonate, and to listen to western women's
voices. From foundational California photographers Anne Brigman and
Alma Lavenson to contemporary Native poets and writers Leslie
Marmon Silko and Joy Harjo, women artists have used photographs to
generate stories and to map routes across time and place. A
Planetary Lens illuminates the richness and theoretical
sophistication of such composite texts. Looking beyond the
ideologies of wilderness, migration, and progress that have shaped
settler and popular conceptions of the region, A Planetary Lens
shows how many artists gather and assemble images and texts to
reimagine landscape, identity, and history in the U.S. West. Based
on extensive research into the production, publication, and
circulation of women's photo-texts, A Planetary Lens offers a fresh
perspective on the entangled and gendered histories of western
American photography and literature and new models for envisioning
regional relations.
