Her students have the internet in their pockets, screens on their wrists, seeing in more directions than students ever could before. But what, in fact, are they looking at?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the spirit of John Berger's \u003ci\u003eWays of Seeing\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah Minor's \u003ci\u003eCarousel\u003c\/i\u003e explores how the pursuit of panoramic vision frames power, distorts reality, and implicates both viewer and subject. Across short, loping sections that weave history with memoir, close looking with confession, Minor masterfully fuses the slide lecture with the lyric essay, tying medieval tapestries to surrealism and Instagram reels to predator drones. In language that captures the disorientation of that other carousel, the whirling carnival ride, Minor shows how the more we strive to see, the more we ultimately reveal ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Minor\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two previous books, \u003ci\u003eBright Archive\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSlim Confessions: The Universe as a Spider or Spit\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the chapbook \u003ci\u003eThe Persistence of the Bonyleg: Annotated\u003c\/i\u003e.
