Customer Reviews

a memorable imagery of word and photo

These two obviously bright and talented individuals have made more than a "cocktail table" book. The photographs show people, architecture and bucolic scenes on the surface- but reveal the heart and soul of the country even though you might never have travelled there. The photos , like the poetry, leave you wondering and questionikng. These images are 3 dimensional- and in black and white have a dramatic impact on the reader. All the photos tell a story- and the poet makes one interpretation- and then lets you make your own. This is a book I select when I want some quiet introspective time- and it picks me up and carries me somewhere else. Kudos to the women artists!
