ABOUT THE BOOK
New York City is defined by water, yet many of its shorelines are largely unknown. These lyrical photographs, inspired by a Walt Whitman poem, take us on a seasonal journey past sheltered bays, under great bridges and over deep rivers to give us a moving perspective on a megacity we thought we knew so well.
Susannah Ray lives in the Rockaways, a small peninsula on the edge of New York City bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Jamaica Bay, and JFK International Airport. This intersection of city and water is at the heart of her work. Susannah studied photography at Princeton University and the School of Visual Arts MFA Program in Photography and Related Media, and is an Associate Professor of Photography at Hofstra University.
This is the first edition.

'Barbican Residents' by Anton Rodriguez, 240pp, hardback, 151 x 199mm.
The Barbican is a radical model of city living and a symbol of post-war optimism. Today, it’s home to around 4,000 people – half the population of the City of London, the ancient heart of the capital where the building resides. But while its towers and walkways are recognisable to many, few are familiar with what lies inside. This book is a rare chance to peer beyond its concrete boundaries into the homes and lives of over 30 residents.
‘The Barbican embodies a vision of public generosity that is becoming
vanishingly rare.' – Olivia Laing, from the foreword.
This book is carbon neutral. This is the first edition.
