- Book Synopsis
- An astounding collection of photographs from a renowned poetCreated during the tumultuous years of 2020 and 2021, Love's Austere and Lonely Offices: Street Portraits and Poems intersects the lens of accomplished poet and photographer Marcus Jackson with his words. The focus: the Black experience and existence. Amid isolation, protest, and survival, Jackson is the aperture and scribe giving visual consciousness and breath to these human portraits. His camera strips the view of endless cycles of social and moral injustices, presenting a resonant collection of photographs that make space for the moments and the people whose beings represent the ongoing interplay between history, society, and the individual soul.
