📚 Photographer captures poverty's stark reality across Appalachia. Robert A. Flischel's new photo book "What We Inherit" documents the historical struggles of impoverished communities in Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Indiana from 1900 to 2024. The beautifully bound collection features hundreds of powerful images from renowned Cincinnati photographers alongside writings from Enquirer journalist Lafcadio Hearn, whose prescient 19th-century observations on opium addiction eerily parallel today's opioid crisis. Despite its heavy subject matter, the book serves as a loving tribute to photography and the Cincinnati region, available now at several local bookstores.
