It’s here!!! Roaming the Land is a 235 page eBook, containing 215 photographs taken across New England over a span of half a century. It came to fruition over the last five months with the help of graphic designer extraordinaire Carolina Marquez-Sterling, and both of us could not be happier with how it turned out.
Currently it’s for sale on Kobo (https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/roaming-the-land), and though it can be viewed on any number of devices via any number of e-reader apps, the best user experience – which translates our finished manuscript with 99.99% accuracy – seems to be with the Kobo app on an iPad.
Note: as of 1/1/24, the book is available in libraries across the country; most of the New England ones have it for immediate download (barring any holds) and the rest would need to order it, via OverDrive/Libby, the Palace Project and/or CloudLibrary. These apps render the book with 100% accuracy.
Here’s what my poet friend Neil Shepard had to say about the book:
“Anthony Reczek’s book of masterful photographs and insightful text, Roaming the Land: Photographs of New England, makes a splendid addition to the photographic tradition of capturing the essential spirit of the four seasons in the American northeast.
He turns his camera eye and nimble mind on the natural world: field, forest, and hillside; river, lake, and seascape, but he focuses too on the human community: the parades, festivals and farmers markets in towns and villages, the work and play of farmers and fishermen; the climbers celebrating on a granite summit.
His written commentary on these photographs is wry, wistful, spirited, and spiritual, providing causation and context for many of these shots. All in all, Roaming the Land offers a breathtaking variety of photographic images for anyone with a longstanding passion or a newfound interest in the many moods and evocations of the north country.
Buy it and enter a world of delight!”
Neil Shepard, author of How It Is: Selected Poems
