A Picture Poetry Book of Found Objects
Imagine if every object in a trash and treasure barn could speak. Every mask, every mannequin, every statue and every image.
Frank Prem has heard them and tells their stories in this picture poetry book
Come and listen to these Voices (In The Trash).
A Picture Holds a Thousand Stories
Frank Prem has found the stories these objects can tell, of a glorious past and a shattered present — each paired with a poem. Communicated: image to soul.
This picture poetry book is a unique exploration of the life cycle of once familiar objects — one that invites you to see, feel, and remember.
