{"product_id":"ghostlight-9781477326558","title":"Ghostlight","description":"\u003cp\u003eSouthern wetlands, with their moss-draped trees and dark water obscuring mysteries below, are eerily beautiful places, home to ghost stories and haunting, ethereal light. The newest collection from award-winning photographer Keith Carter, \u003ci\u003eGhostlight\u003c\/i\u003e captures the otherwordly spirits of swamps, marshes, bogs, baygalls, bayous, and fens in more than a hundred photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Ossabaw Island, Georgia, to his home ground of East Texas, Carter seeks \"the secretive and mysterious\" of this often-overlooked landscape: wisps of fog drifting between tree branches; faceless figures contemplating a bog; owls staring directly at the camera lens; infinite paths leading to unknown parts. Similarly, spectral images are evoked in the original short story that opens this book. Ghostlight, writes best-selling author Bret Anthony Johnston, \"hovers, darts, disappears. It can be as mean as a cottonmouth, as mischievous aes a child. The closer you get, the farther the light recedes.\" A masterpiece of \"Bayou Gothic,\" \u003ci\u003eGhostlight\u003c\/i\u003e challenges our perceptions and invites us to experience the beauty of this elusive world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781477326558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184","brand":"Keith Carter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42406049808565,"sku":"9781477326558","price":42.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4cab08a6-e6b4-4de3-a370-932a11d7c5dd.jpg?v=1664285598","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ghostlight-9781477326558","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
