HEIRESS TO PUBLISH CARL TERVER’S “GLORY TO THE SKY”

PRE-ORDER CARL TERVER’S HIGHLY-ANTICPATED “GLORY TO THE SKY”

Heiress is set to release Carl Terver’s Glory to the Sky on August 25, 2024.Carl Terver is known as one of Nigeria’s best contemporary writers, mostly of the essay form, and a well-rounded critic.

In Glory to the Sky — described as “short personal essays on photography” — Terver examines our ways of seeing, celebrates the beauty of the accidental and coincident, and discusses man’s propensity for wastefulness. This kind of writing follows the tradition of writers like Emmanuel Iduma and Teju Cole, in investigating life through photography. Itis a pleasure to read and a masterful hand at work.

PRE-ORDER HERE.

Carl Terver’s first photography writing “The Lessons of Hue Editing” was published in 2021 in Afapinen. In this new photobook — which he claims was a discovery even to him — he has expanded his vision of writing about images, further stretching his boundaries. And he has so much to say. Glory to the Sky contains 35 original photographs accompanied by micro personal essays and photography writing.

Carl Terver, who has been published in Goethe-Institut Nigeria, The Republic, OlongoAfrica, The Stockholm Review, and Afapinen, is one of Nigeria’s postmodernist writers today engaged in critical thought. He graduated with a BA English from BSU, Makurdi. His short story “The Son of Blue Jack” was selected for the inaugural anthology of the Toyin Falola Prize, and in 2024, he was long-listed for the Commonwealth Short Story Prize.
