Verse from the Village

PHOTÕETRY is a riveting collection of poetry and photography from a city quite legendary for its ferocious magnetism. The process of creating this lyrical and visual testament to life in Los Angeles involves either creating photographs inspired by completed poems, or writing poems based on captivating pictures. The work found here is a collection of displayed images and poems from the 2007 and 2013 PHOTÕETRY Gallery show, featured in various art galleries throughout the western United States. Hiram Sims blends his words with amazing images from photographers Sam Bendall, Ameer Epsy, Charisse Sims, Kim Soria, and Adam Tillman-Young, to create a truly unparalleled compilation of work.
