From The Western Door to the Lower West Side

Poet Eric Gansworth has written a book-length cycle of poems that interact with photographs from Milton’s Native American series to form a unique experience, blending the written word and visual images. The book and the photographs, taken over a period of forty years, reflect the journey from the Longhouse's Western Door of Seneca reservation culture, a culture distinctly different, from the lifestyles of Buffalo's Lower West Side, the neighborhood many people migrated to when their families left the more rural reservation homes.
