Joshua Edwards is the author of Castles and Islands, Architecture for Travelers, Imperial Nostalgias, Campeche (with photographs by his father, Van Edwards), and Photographs Taken at One-Hour Intervals During a Walk from Galveston Island to the West Texas Town of Marfa; and he translated María Baranda's book-length poem, Ficticia. He's received grants and fellowships from Akademie Schloss Solitude, the Stegner Program, University of Michigan, the Fulbright Program, and elsewhere. Solo exhibitions of his photography have been held at Rice University, Akademie Schloss Solitude, and Galveston Artist Residency. Edwards lives with his family in West Texas, where he directs Canarium Books and works at Marfa Book Company. 

Castles and Islands is an exhibition of photographs from the recent eponymous book by poet Joshua Edwards. Taking as their starting point the photo postcard, these images explore photography as a poetic form that engages monumentality, nostalgia, and the epistolary nature of all poems. They also serve as a simple travelog of time spent in South America, Asia, Europe, and the United States.
