Brave River - Paperback

by Tim Z. Hernandez (Author), Todd Morten (Author)

Brave River is a collaboration between borderland-based photographer Todd Morten and award-winning author, Tim Z. Hernandez. Inspired by Morten's years-long project of documenting the faces and landscapes of the El Paso and New Mexico region. Hernandez's writing is a series of epistles, meditations, and voices that offer stark portraits of the people, and the pulse of a region that is too often misunderstood and singularized in popular narratives. Told in thirty-nine gorgeous full-color photographs, the poems coincide, echo, and in some cases disrupt the imagery in a way that is meaningful and revealing.
