- catalog abstract ""You see them as faceless shapes on the median or in city parks. You recognize them by their cardboard signs, their bags of aluminum cans, or their weathered skin. But you do not know them." "In Nomads of a Desert City Barbara Seyda meets the gazes of our homeless neighbors and, with an open heart and the eye of an accomplished photographer, uncovers their compelling stories of life on the edge." "Byrdy is a teenager from Alaska who left a violent husband and misses the young daughter her mother now cares for. Her eyes reveal a wisdom that belies her youth. Samuel is 95 and collects cans for cash. His face shows a lifetime of living outside, while his eyes hint at the countless stories he could tell. Lamanda worked as an accountant before an act of desperation landed her in prison. Now she struggles to raise the seven children of a woman she met there. Dorothy - whose earliest memories are of physical and sexual abuse - lives in a shelter, paycheck to paycheck, reciting affirmations so she may continue "to grace the world with my presence.""--Jacket.".
