Nancy Crampton

"Writers" is a stunning collection of two-page spreads featuring 104 of our treasured authors, poets and playwrights. The right-hand side of each smooth, heavy page presents Nancy Crampton's arresting photo of a writer -- each photograph communicating far beyond the requisite (ten) thousand words.

But then, on each left-hand page, there ARE words: a paragraph or three from the writers about an aspect of their inspiration, their writing philosophy or their life. And tucked in the matter at the back of the book is Crampton's Afterword -- her notes on the backstory of several of the photographs -- which made me flip back through the pages to revisit those images with new insight ... and then all the images, again.

Absolutely lovely!… (meer)
