Splendor is a celebration of attention and the complex beauty of the American landscape. Published by Deadbeat Club, Splendor explores what it means to witness—to look outward at a world shaped by myth and infrastructure, and inward toward a quieter, more personal register of seeing.

“To be inside a Courtney Allen image,” Kathleen Alcott observes in her essay, “is to eavesdrop on an argument between the secular and the divine, the sentient and the manufactured, the forever and the recent.”
