Keith Carter's photographs linger in the mind like images from an almost remembered dream. Evocative and haunting, they capture what Carter calls the "little askew moments" that allow viewers to see beyond the surface reality.
This book brings together seventy-five photographs chosen by Carter to represent the range of his work since the 1970s. Many of the images in this book have never been published before, while others come from Carter's previous books. A. D. Coleman's introduction traces the development of Carter's work and maps his affinities with other artists and writers who are strongly influenced by the sense of place. In his own words, Keith Carter describes his maturation as a self-taught photographer in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas. He provides insights into his choice of subject matter, his methods of working, and his philosophy of what art should be and do.
For the many people who have already discovered Keith Carter's photography, this book offers a visually compelling summation of his career to date. Those who have not yet had that pleasure will find it here.

A. D. Coleman wrote an informative introduction to this book which, to my delight, defines what it means that photographers "move beyond the semantics of the medium into its poetics." I have wondered since my photography professor decried documentary photography and urged us to create poetry. I queried him about the meaning, eager to understand and apply, but he never answered. However, Coleman clarified for me, it means when "...one steps out of the literal and ostensibly transcriptive into the territory of the metaphorical..." That makes complete sense when viewing the work of Keith Carter.
Carter's images bring me to my knees. They evoke heightened emotions that are not merely about the subject of the photos themselves, but go deeper into that realm of metaphor of which Coleman refers. Coleman continues "...the frame of the image is merely a threshold over which the mind and eye of the viewer can freely step." I would add, into the realm of the metaphorical. Carter's work beckons, entices, then throws me over the edge of the frame into the constructed realities of his photos. For those brief moments the world around me ceases to exist and I meld with the photographs, emerging altered, yet conscious of immense gratitude for Keith Carter.
