Description

Train to Providence is a conversation between poet and photographer. Rodger Kingston's photographs were made over a sustained period of several decades, while William Doreski's poems were written in the short span of a few months. The pictures do not illustrate the poems, and the poems do not merely describe the photographs. But the words and images, brought together here for the first time, seem to have something to say to each other in ongoing, elongated moments caught and framed for close examination.

About the Author
William Doreski is a poet whose work has appeared in dozens of journals and several previous collections. He taught writing and literature at Emerson College, Goddard College, and for many years at Keene State College.
Rodger Kingston is a photographer working in a documentary tradition somewhere between the photographs of Walker Evans and the paintings of Edward Hopper, with a nod to William Carlos Williams and Bruce Springsteen.
Reviews

"[William Doreski is] a master of formal invention and surreal narrative." --Jeff Friedman, Author, Pretenders and Floating Tales

"His are the poems of our complex, frequently uncomfortable humanity." --Michael McIrvin, American Book Review

"Rodger Kingston brings his own unique vision to searching out icons of Americana, and his compositions display stunning qualities of light and color that Hopper himself would have admired." --Bonnie Tocher Clause, Author, Edward Hopper in Vermont
