Magic City Books is proud to welcome photographer Sam Joyner and poet Francine Ringold for a virtual event to celebrate their new collection of photography and poetry, The Way We See Now. This collection continues in the Greek tradition of “Ekphrastics” – poems inspired by works of art. 

“This exquisite book of Francine Ringold’s poetry inspired by Sam Joyner’s photographs is a delicious feast of words and imagery guaranteed to make you hunger for more. Together they offer new perspectives that inspire, evoke thought and encourage conversation.”  — Michael Wallis
