Anthony Bannon, ’64, has written or contributed to a handful of books from international publishers since stepping down as executive director of the Burchfield Penney Art Center two years ago. His most recent work is featured in “Beatitude: A Beat Attitude: Photographs by Joey Tranchina,” published by Steidl Verlag, one of the top art publishers in the world. Bannon’s text wraps around photographs taken by Tranchina, a little-known poet/photographer who began documenting Beat culture in 1970.

The limited edition book “Traces” features photographs by Roman Loranc, poetry by Robert Lax and an essay by Bannon.

Bannon also contributed to “True to the Eyes: The Howard and Carole Tanenbaum Photography Collection” (Ryerson Image Centre, Toronto), “Portraits: Photographs by William Coupon,” (Damiani Press, Bologna, Italy); and “Steve McCurry” (Asia House, Tokyo).
