Kyler Zeleny: Bury Me in the Back 40 – LENSCRATCH

Kyler Zeleny has a particular way of seeing the world, or more specifically, seeing the Canadian prairie, that is both historical and theatrical, cinematic and apocalyptic. When combined, the results are riveting. His newest book effort is the the final chapter in his prairie trilogy. Bury Me in the Back Forty, published by The Velvet Cell,  is the successor to the sold-out books “Out West” and “Crown Ditch”. His unique approach to combing text and image, vintage and contemporary photographs and ephemera, oral histories and community records, make Bury Me in the Back Forty a rich narrative of prairie life.
