Book Synopsis
A photographic and vernacular portrait of disappearing midwestern farm places.

Trade Review
I was very moved by this evocative, literate, and informative book. Warner's beautiful-and painful-photographs are a perfect companion to Stark's writing and the 'voices' of the Nebraskans that are included. I am very grateful for this sensitive and sad look back. -- Ruth Silverman, former associate curator of the International Center of Photography and two-time winner of the Photography-Book-of-the-Year award for The Dog and Athletes Richly nuanced. Publishers Weekly A melancholy, touching look at a vanishing way of life. -- Sarah Bryan Miller St. Louis Post-Dispatch Each photo presents a snapshot of a place vacated. Together, they tell a larger story of an America fading into the landscape... Conversations, captured by Stark, are sprinkled throughout the book, bringing insight and understated humor to the inanimate beauty of Warner's photographs. -- Casey Logan The Omaha World Herald A moving collection... The country and the book are spacious, the stories are moving, and the photographs are wonderful. RALPH magazine Quietly evocative Billings Gazette
