<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Gossage's ongoing look at his country within these pages is like a dance: rhythmic, redeeming, restorative, and intuitive, but tentatively hopeful.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Jack Wilson's Waltz</i> is, in the words of its author, a book "with a particular context, of photographs to settle the feeling that I did not understand about my home. To do that I set out, starting in 2003, to see what clarity my pictures might bring." <p/>And so came into being these photos of scenes, things, minor events and the look in the eyes of the young, all taken in everyday non-iconic places throughout John Gossage's (born 1946) travels across America. Gossage's ongoing look at his country within these pages is like a dance: rhythmic, redeeming, restorative, intuitive; but tentatively hopeful. "I would like to believe all of it," he writes, "that we will be saved, but on Connecticut Avenue there is graffiti that says 'Where is Lee Harvey Oswald when we need him?' All I can hear is the faint echoing gun shots coming from Wounded Knee."</p>
