Blown Into Now: Poems for a Journey
Poems by Mylo Schaaf
Photographs by Alex Lowenstein
Blown Into Now presents the remarkable poetry of Mylo Schaaf alongside a collection of striking photographs—taken by her mountaineer son, Alex Lowenstein, who died unexpectedly in his twenties. Her highly crafted poems explore the difficult trails and switchbacks of grief, but never swerve
off art’s path into sentimentality. The images in both the photographs and poems are virtuosic, forming not only a record of loss and the healing force of connection, but also a guidebook for those experiencing similar grief.
