Savoring Alaskan landscapes by way of birch trees has become Kes Woodward s trademark. This collection brings together thirty years of his birch portraits and forest close-ups. Over those same thirty years, poet Peggy Shumaker has traveled inner landscapes via images drawn from two deserts the Sonoran and the Subarctic. Her poems embody the harsh beauty of heat and cold, the force of true extremes. Wounded trees, marked paths, slashes of color. Bursts of passions, licks of flame. The sensual spirits of two imaginations at work fuel this this volume.

Peggy's poetry,
By B.S.L. "College Mom" (Phoenix,AZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blaze (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book of poetry. I enjoyed it very much. Well worth the reading and the pictures are lovely. I though the artist needs more orginal names for his art works Birch 1, Birch 2 etc. The cover is especially beautiful. My favorites were Kus-sun-ar, Once you named it, and Early Fall. Oh and Young Boy Dancing at Playa Los Muertos you can just see the boy dance.
