Tom Waits Releasing Book in March
11/29/2010
.
(Gibson) Tom Waits will publish a book of poetry in March 2011. Hard Ground will feature Waits' words alongside photographs of the homeless taken by award-winning photographer Michael O'Brien. According to the publisher, University of Texas Press, the book is "a portrait of homelessness that impels us to look into the eyes of people who live 'on the hard ground' and recognize our common humanity." The book is in the spirit of the 1941 book, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, which chronicled the spirit and hardships of the American farmer during the Great Depression. According to the publisher, the book is much more than a documentary piece: "Letting words and images communicate on their own terms, rather than merely illustrate each other, Hard Ground transcends documentary and presents independent yet powerfully complementary views of the trials of homelessness and the resilience of people who survive on the streets." -
