NEW The Cross Garden Alabama Southern Gothic American Noir Photography Book

Description: The Cross Garden by Diane Alire. New Grounds Gallery, Albuquerque, 2006. Limited first edition of 1000 beautifully bound copies. Oblong format hardcover bound in black cloth, rectangular cutout on front cover and front endpaper to reveal the photograph on the title page. 32 pages. Book is brand new sealed in factory shrinkwrap. Alire documents a Christian roadside attraction in Prattville, Ala., created by the self-ordained Reverend W.C. Rice, who, under instructions from God, painted his fiery proclamations on everything from refrigerators to abandoned vans and placed them in his demented garden. The book is an engrossing and often disturbing collection of images in which she faces up to her own background as a Southerner and Baptist. $3.50 domestic U.S. shipping.
