Acquainted with the night

This unique book explores the mysterious allure of the night through a combination of evocative black-and-white photography and a curated selection of classic and contemporary poetry. Lynn Saville's photographs capture unusual aspects of urban and rural landscapes after dark, from New York's industrial districts to sites in Portugal, Greece, and India. Accompanying these images are 35 poems and poetic excerpts, including works by Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, and ancient verses, all contemplating the essence of night. This volume offers a contemplative experience for lovers of photography and poetry, especially those drawn to the nocturnal world.
