by Rob McDonald
Photographs: Rob McDonald
Text: John Lane
Publisher: Horse & Buggy Press
36 pages
Year: December 2018
Price: 50 €
Comments: 100lb Mohawk Superfine; eggshell-finish paper; trim size 8 x 10 inches; hand-sewn binding; cover is a mix of indigo and letterpress printing
Award-winning writer John Lane kept a box for many years of what was left from his father’s life up until he committed suicide in 1959 when John was five years old. In the box are letters, photos, objects, and papers comprising nearly everything John knows about his father. The pieces suggest a man’s origins in rural North Carolina; they also document his service in a World War on another continent and trace his return home.
John loaned the box to Rob McDonald and asked him to take it home and contemplate its contents through the lens of his camera. These are the photographs that Rob made and the poems and short essays John wrote in response.
This is a project about artifacts and memories. It is about what remains of lives that came before us, lives which set the path for our own.
