Lunch Poems (SOLD OUT)
Bill Shapiro, Esquire
“A lovingly photographed ode to the diners, taverns, and hardworking snack joints in hardworking American towns. To explore the divide in our country, Leah Frances spent years shooting spots where people gather, and where linoleum counters, wood paneling, and hand-painted signs are as common as eggs, bacon, and coffee. (Only 500 copies were printed, so order up.)"
