Picture Poems: Volume 3

Synergy of Image and Verse. A photograph is worth a thousand words. Poetry paints word pictures using poetic imagery. On their own, they each are exquisite. Combined they become something else - a powerful composition that blends the best of both. That is what happens in this book.

The wonder here is that both are the same. The photographer is the poet. Poetry Defined Poetry is often written, but rarely explained.
