Photographing Eden

the long version

"Photographing Eden presents the first full-length collection of poems by a remarkable new talent. Jason Gray's work emerges from the Edenic themes of spirituality, environmentalism, and the relationships between men and women. Observing, often through the lens of a camera, our state in the world, Gray tries to focus sharply on what often seems a blur. His poems are always attentive to artistic media and the craft behind them because our struggle is to make something perfect in the imperfect world in which we live, while acknowledging the impossibility of that quest."--BOOK JACKET.
