Description: "Soths̕ richly descriptive, large format color photographs describe an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors ... In the books̕ forty-six ... pictures ... [Soth] merges a documentary style with a poetic sensibility. The Mississippi is less the subject of the book than its organizing structure. Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust"--Http://www.steidlville.com.
