Lyon Book Award from the Western Literature Association \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Planetary Lens\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eA Planetary Lens\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the richness and theoretical sophistication of such composite texts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Looking beyond the ideologies of wilderness, migration, and progress that have shaped settler and popular conceptions of the region, \u003ci\u003eA Planetary Lens\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eA Planetary Lens\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fresh perspective on the entangled and gendered histories of western American photography and literature and new models for envisioning regional relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Audrey Goodman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496225139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496225139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2022","brand":"Audrey Goodman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996499968255,"sku":"9781496225139","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f06f4777-5634-4bc1-a3de-2814d3f8d849.jpg?v=1683342042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-planetary-lens-audrey-goodman-9781496225139","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
