In an unforgettable partnership, poet Ann Fisher-Wirth and photographer Maude Schuyler Clay have collaborated on MISSISSIPPI, a gorgeous new book that offers a new spirit of place for their home state.

The book features 47 poems by Ann Fisher-Wirth and 47 color photographs by Maude Schuyler Clay that explore the history, culture, and ecology of the state of Mississippi.Clay is a seventh-generation Mississippian; Fisher-Wirth has lived here for 30 years, so the images and words represent long, complicated accumulations and recombinations of visual and linguistic experience.

Join us for a special reception, followed by signing and speaking.
