Rebecca Norris Webb - A Difficulty Is a Light
Like a journey through light, Rebecca Norris Webb explores the geography of grief. This is her first hybrid poetry collection, accompanied by photographs.
This is poet and photographer Rebecca Norris Webb’s first hybrid poetry collection, punctuated by more than a dozen of her lyrical photographs. This elegiac book explores the geography of loss—both personal and environmental— after the suicide of her sole remaining brother, compounded by the earlier loss of his identical twin. Glimpse by glimpse, she also follows the ever-shifting world of light beginning in Trieste, Italy, then traveling from Cape Cod to the Dakotas, from New England to the Carolinas, ultimately observing bird migrations in the American South and northern France, as this book is also a meditation on various kinds of twinning—birds and brothers, grieving and migration, loss and light, badlands and coastlines, words and images, and seeing and dreaming.
Rebecca Norris Webb (born in 1956 in Rushville, USA) lives and works between New York and Massachusetts. She often combines her words and images in her nine photography books, most notedly with her monograph “My Dakota“, an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly (2012), for which a solo exhibition of the work was shown at The Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015. An NEA grant recipient, she’s currently working on Badlands, an ongoing photography project in the Dakotas, as well as the upcoming book, “Glimmerings“, a selection of some three decades of her poetic photographs.
