Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"Music For the Eyes" is a fine arts book with state of the art landscapes, nature and abstract photography combined with compelling poetry. With those credentials, you might not guess that it is also a book for day dreamers or someone that notices an abstract shape or design in nature and is reminded of something totally unrelated. The poetry connects a series of cloud images in the early pages of the book to abstract thoughts.
Here are a couple of the poems that seem to illustrate this creative day dreaming:
LINT
The sky wears
a woolen overcoat
so daydreams
stick.
(great photo shows wisps of clouds that resemble lint...)
BIRD
Who'd dare
snatch a
tail feather
from eternity
(another great cloud shot that resembles plumage...)
The compatibility of the four line poems with the photographs in the first part of the book encourages the authors to extend into longer poems as the book continues.
Both artists also include essays in the book that reveal a behing-the-scenes insight into the creative and technical process that evolved into "Music For the Eyes". The essays offer fine art photography and poetry students a valuable glimpse into this creative process.
I just love this book.

An end table book that promises to put a fresh smile on the face of poetry and photography.This unique volume offers insight into the creative process of photographer and poet. Each artist works alone - he, primarily photographing the Western United States, she, writing poetry in and about the East. For this book, they have joined their separate creative efforts into a single work, Music for the Eyes, whose title pays homage to Ansel Adams.More than 50 exquisite photographs are matched with 50 sensuous poems to make this the fine art book the authors want the world to see and savor.
