Overview

"This artful book collects the black & white imagery of renowned photographer Magdalena Lily McCarson and the words of poet Zach Hively. Thirty photographs and thirty poems paired in conversation. From the Introduction: ""When Magdalena and I decided to collaborate, one spring morning over breakfast in the desert, we set the arbitrary and entirely binding terms of our game. The point was explicitly not to plot and plan every piece. No waiting for the muses to bless us. No perfecting each photograph and each poem for months on end before releasing them into the world. The point was to create recklessly, even explosively, in a dense period of time. That feral attitude spilled out of the theme we chose to guide and inspire every piece for those two months. That theme survived as the title of this book: Wild Expectations."""
