Meanwhile, Here in Austin

By Cetywa Powell

Meanwhile, here in Austin is an intimate look at the city of Austin through essays and photography, divided into the four seasons. The book offers a unique perspective on the interplay between the city's dynamic culture, its natural landscapes, and its evolving urban identity. Through the lens of the changing seasons, the book presents a personal narrative of discovery, from the unexpected lushness of Austin's spring to the disappearing swimming holes, the vibrant creativity of fall, and the impact of the winter storm Uri.

"Meanwhile Here in Austin is not a conventional memoir, travelogue, or photography collection, but rather a layered fusion of all three. It is also a deep look into everyday life in Texas's capital, following Powell's move there. Structured around the seasons, Powell's work unfolds as a series of vignettes, interlaced with high-quality photography. With prose as intimate as a diary, this is the perfect book for anyone interested in the city of Austin or W. G. Sebald-style memoirs." - Book Shelfie
