A Well Grounded collection that elucidates
In this impressive anthology, fine art photographer Meg Boscov immerses readers, dreamers, writers, and viewers alike in a compilation of more than one hundred images whose source of inspiration is her backyard, such as the beautiful gardens she has planted in her pool. Buoyed with thoughtful and contemplative prose of exactly one hundred words, fiction, and non-creative fiction, from fifty-two writers, what follows is a culmination of healing visions from vitalizing writers.
This gala of images begins with a striking foreword from Randall Brown that sheds light on the purpose of the text along with the inspiration behind it, thereby communicating the creative and emotional story behind this collection. These full-color photographs are finely paired with poetic prose that showcases the writers� finesse in their art as they gather observations from the mundane, human struggles, loss, diversity, nature, love, and introspective anecdotes among others. The stories are further imbued with charming and inviting choice of language that enlivens the text�s fervent message.
The text is congenial and immediate, balancing its emotional aspect with enlightening details. Meg Boscov�s unmistakable skill plays out in the vivid colors and gorgeous textures that her images entail against the backdrop of the breathtaking landscapes from which they are shot, making them come alive before our eyes. As this beautiful stark portraiture unfolds before us, readers are further compelled to linger on and look more keenly at this magical world that she manages to create. The feather stroke of this text is the sense of silence that these photos seem to capture: no man-made noise, only sounds of nature and the all-too-rare sound of silence invoking in us a call to quietude to slow down and listen to the stillness of the natural world.
ââ?¬Å"Healing Visions: An Anthology of Micro Prose and Fine Art Photographyââ?¬Â? by Meg Boscov is an extravaganza of humanity created to protect and fight for womenââ?¬â?¢s rights everywhere. That the short lyrical essays and stunning images complement each other so well along the pages is an unanticipated pleasure. Boscovââ?¬â?¢s evocative five-star garland is a great addition to the literature of photography art.
