When I was online I read that Jon Anderson (whom I hold in high regard as a poet among other things) was so moved by another poets angelic words (Wendy Vig) that he offered to paint for a book of 'WENDYpoems' as he put it, I recognized 'the calling' and immediately contacted Wendy by email offering to do an album using her words, the same words that had inspired Jon, sight unseen, as lyric... Wendy loved the idea and now the album is complete!

Several very interesting people have played on the recordings, including Jordan Rudess - Keyboardist, Ray Gomez - Guitarist, Eduardo DelSignore - Bass

After recieving Wendy Vig's words with Jon Anderson's beautiful watercolors... it was magical!!! The melodies literally leapt from Wendy's words combined with Jon's serene paintings!! .

I reccommend this book VERY highly, it is full of inspiration and has had a positive impact on my life, it will touch you too!

This book of poems is very special. I could feel it the day I received it and read the poems. Each Page has wonderful watercolor artwork by Jon Anderson. You can read it daily and just think all day about the poem that stays with you that day. Each day I carefuly read this fragile book of poems and read into something I didnt notice the first time I read it. I highly recomend this book of poems and artwork. Rob S.

Wendy's book is very beautiful. Not only are the poems insightful and enlightening, but Jon Anderson's artwork provides a unique view on both her work and in the workings of a modern artist who usually is known for his own poetry. Reading the poems and enjoying the paintings provides a nice respite from the normal material one reads.

I consider myself fortunate to know Wendy Vig personally and when I read this book it fulfilled my expectations of what I feel when I speak with her. Wendy is one of those rare individual's who can obsorb life's energy and emotion through her contact with people, music, art, just about anything she comes in contact with. Her work in this book is a direct reflection of her heart's reaction to both Jon's music and her own personal love and understanding of life's emotional up's and down's. If you are a person who feels the emotional beauty of music and yearns to put those feelings into words, you must read this book. The 28 pages of poetry and art in this book will fill the library of your heart for the rest of your life.
