Summary

In this celebration of the natural world, Linda Foster and Dianne Burdick combine words and photographs to reflect deeply on our place in the landscape. The conversation between image and word begins with Burdick's evocative, hand colored photographs. Foster then reflects on these simple and beautiful images in haiku, the careful words acting as a gentle counterpoint.As they play off each other, the poems and photographs in "Listening to the Landscape" draw readers into a deeper understanding of the landscape around us, into the mystery of the universe we inhabit.
