Announcing Epoch Ephemeral: Visual Poetry Volume II | Camera Eclectica

I am delighted to announce the forthcoming release of Epoch Ephemeral: Visual Poetry Volume II | Camera Eclectica, the second and final volume in my Epoch Ephemeral portfolio series.

-Birgit Maddox

The spacer in Volume I of the Portfolio is finally being revealed.

This new volume completes the Epoch Ephemeral series and brings together 135 photographs created with pinhole cameras, medium-format film, and experimental digital processes. Unlike Volume I, which paired my images with original poetry, Volume II places the work in dialogue with some of the poets who have inspired me throughout my life.

The book also includes images created in collaboration with my daughter, Michelle Magdalena Maddox, as part of our ongoing Mother/Daughter Project—a deeply meaningful creative journey for our family.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this project and followed its journey. I look forward to sharing more previews in the coming months.
