Description
This book represents the sole record of an excursion that Teel made during the week of his 28th birthday. Instead of snapping pictures, Teel carried around a notebook - very similar to the book in your hands - and wrote poetry to try to create a more personal record of what he was experiencing as he drove around the American countryside. This is the first volume of what Teel hopes will be an ongoing project; a revolution of the mind to realize that a few words may be able to capture a place and time and feeling in a way most flat, still images never can. It is often said that a picture is worth 1k words, and this is perhaps a first step showing that a few words carefully selected can express more than an entire roll of snap shots.
