The Pueblo Imagination

Landscape and Memory in the Photography of Lee Marmon

Photographs by: Lee Marmon

Lee Marmon is America's most renowned Native American photographer and yet this is the first book to showcase his breathtaking photography. This book combined Mr. Marmon's award-winning photographs celebrating the Laguna Pueblo - their distinctive landscapes, their traditions and history - with equally gorgeous prose and poetry by three of our most celebrated Native American writers: Lee's daughter, the novelist Leslie Marmon Silko, and the poets Joy Harpo and Simon Ortiz. With each flash of the camera, Lee Marmon captured a piece of Native American history; this book preserves that precious legacy.

The Pueblo Imagination will be lavishly produced, with the highest quality reproductions, including some seventy black-and-white photos printed in duotone and eight pages of arresting color photographps. The text will flow in prose and verse from the images, setting the stage and capturing in words the history preserved in Lee Marmon's unforgettable images.

Photographer Lee Marmon lives in New Mexico. Leslie Marmon Silko, author of Ceremony and Almanac of the Dead lives in Phoenix, Arizona. Poet and musician Joy Harjo author of How We Became Human: New and Selected Poems lives in Hawaii. Poet Simon Ortiz, author of Out There Somewhere live in Toronto, Ontario.
