Book Signing: The Waters of Our Time by Thomas and Giancarlo T. Roma

Join Thomas and Giancarlo T. Roma for a signing of their book The Waters of Our Time.

The Waters of Our Time is the second collaboration between Thomas Roma and his son Giancarlo. It was conceived as an homage to Roy DeCarava and Langston Hughes' book The Sweet Flypaper of Life published in 1955, a cherished part of the elder Roma's library. The Waters of Our Time remains true to the book in terms of design (size, layout, font) but differs greatly in process. Whereas Hughes selected and sequenced DeCarava's photographs before writing the text, Roma selected and sequenced his own photographs first, leaving Giancarlo to write the text in the white space between pictures.
