About the book

Maverick is an interdisciplinary art project built around the thesis of agency under two central motifs: language as architecture and personal as political. Set against photographs of the east side of San Antonio, Texas, Maverick utilizes poetry and photojournalism to explore the notion of gentrification of the mind; the metaphysical and metaphorical experiences of displacement, anxiety, consciousness, and reclamation.

The award-winning art film adaptation is available on YouTube.
