Peeking into the combustible sublime of America’s outer-urban colonies, Such Appetite pairs Charlie White’s intimate study of a teenage girl with poems by Stephanie Ford in a twenty-first century meditation on beauty and banality, adolescence and sprawl. The photographs in this book were taken in Moreno Valley, CA from 2004 to 2006 as part of The Cyrilla Strothers Project, an in-depth study in which family members and outside observers recorded the daily life and environs of an exurban american teenager. The accompanying poems were written in Los angeles, 2012, in response to the selected images.
