Customer Reviews

breathtaking photographs!

I bought this book several years ago and I just love it. The photographs are just breathtaking. I highly reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys delicate poetry or appreciates art or photography. Barron, the photographer, has this subtle and amazingly artful eye and you leave the book wanting to decorate your home with her work. This is a must-have!

breathtaking photographs

Barron's photographs and Graham's poetry compliment each other beautifully. The photographs are breathtaking; after flipping through a few pages you want to decorate your home in Barron's work. I have had this book for several years, and continue to treasure it.

an inspiring coupling of image and text

Another beautifully printed book from Scalo. Pulitzer prize -winning Graham's sparse verse is not only inspired, but enhanced by Mongomery Barron's pristine imagery.Her (Barron's) still life photographs are not merely decorative interperatations of form, texture and tone. Each image is a poem,a meditation, a complex expression of pure beauty and eerie silence.
