Description



Book Synopsis



Visible Cities captures moments of joy and sadness that occur each day on city streets, exploring the humble triumphs and mundane tragedies of urban life. Photographs taken in locales from Regina to Venice, from Ottawa to Paris, inspire poems that reveal the unexpected beauty of the everyday experiences shaped by the cities we inhabit.

Veronica Geminder's photographs peer into back lanes, admire people absorbed in public art, and consider those ruminating on their own reflections in the glass expanses of office buildings. Kathleen Wall's poems delve for the story behind the photograph, nurturing the moments that would otherwise quickly pass us by.

Lose yourself in Visible Cities and uncover the vitality and complexity of urban life



Review Quotes




Geminder has a true talent for finding the rich abstract in what could hardly be more concrete. Out of these three-dimensional alleys and gardens and pedestrians and towers and streets and public sculptures and objects for sale, she creates flatted rectangles of shade and structure, rendering architecture into composition and revealing the inherent variety of ways of seeing that materialize when stasis is brought to bear on a moving world, or when our own movement through the city-space is arrested by a moment of attention.

--Andrew Dubois, University of Toronto Quarterly



An utterly compelling collaborative exploration of the richness of being in cities . . . by a mother-daughter team who capture the singularities of urban experience with originality and a depth of sensibility alternately lyrical, wry, and refreshingly candid.

- Christine Wisenthal, AlbertaViews
