Stones of the Sur

the long version

"The precipitous cliffs, rolling headlands, and rocky inlets of the Big Sur coast of California were alive for Robinson Jeffers, and throughout his long career as a poet, he extolled their wild beauty. His vivid descriptions inspired the best work of other artists who lived nearby, including such noted photographers as Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, and their younger contemporary Morley Baer.". "Before he died in 1995, Baer was planning a volume that would bring together a group of his landscape photographs of the Big Sur area with a selection of poems that expressed Jeffers' mystical experience of stone. James Karman was invited by Baer to serve as his collaborator, and has brought the project to completion - more that 50 of Baer's photographs paired with poems by Jeffers."--BOOK JACKET.
