This extraordinary collaborative work of some 50 prose poems and photographs faithfully depicts the hardfought struggle for survival on the northern American frontier. Jim Johnson's prose poems give a narrative account of Martha and Sulo, two Finnish immigrants fated to endure the unsparing landscape and climate of their Minnesota settlement. Marlene Wisuri incorporates images made from the glass plate negatives of her grandfather, Jesse C.
Hendricks, along with her own stunning contemporary photographs to document life in the New World.
