Larry Towell’s personal album is a book about his home, its history and the world seen from its viewpoint. Towell’s pictures of his family’s life on their farm is bookended by his family album and history, and by the journeys beyond his front porch, as photographer, poet and storyteller, into the lives and struggles of people dispossessed by conflict. It is both a rage against injustice and the romantic expression of an ideal worth fighting for.
