The Cement War

Johnny Cash with a camera. –Robert Frank

The Cement War is an elegiac meditation on life and the nature of existence by musician, poet, artist, and photographer Mark Steenerson. Combining drawings, handwritten texts, and photographs, this volume produces a lyrical paean to the road-trip of life. As Steenerson sings it, ‘We are lonely creatures flying through life with but a single wing and something we are desperately trying to remember… His texts are his songs are his photographs. In The Cement War, he creates a collage of experience and a layering of emotion for a profoundly moving and personal work of art. Clothbound, 11.5 x 10.75 in. / 126 pgs / 76 duotones.
