Before life hurries on

the long version

Renowned Vermont artist Sabra Field and naturalist poet Jenepher Lingelbach collaborate to convey the seasons and moods of northern New England in twelve evocative pairings of words and original woodcuts. Like a refreshing walk in the woods, these works gently renew and reconnect a sense of place and self. Leaves falling, swallows flying, otters at play in the snow, and stars aswirl in a summer sky are among the images created for both the mind and eye but aimed at the soul. Here are light-hearted meditations for a frenzied world, complemented with brief descriptions of the thoughts or experiences that lie behind each piece.
