About this audiobook

Here’s a description under 1,000 characters: > Before Poetic Cinema had a name, Vernon Snell walked through Puerto Rico carrying grief, addiction, family separation, and the collapse of businesses he had built. With his phone, he photographed graffiti, locks, stray animals, skateparks, public art, and people moving through difficult days. Each image opened a way back to Washington Heights, Bergen County, family, work, loss, and survival. In this photographic memoir and urban record, Snell pairs each photograph with the memory and reflection it awakened. He does not claim to know the whole story of the people he saw; he records what their presence brought forward in his own life. **Book One begins a continuing series—and introduces Poetic Cinema Photography, where image, memory, and language move together.**
