Place of Spirit

by Simone Lipscomb

 

"Simone has paired some of her excellent photographs, taken both in the US and abroad, with her personal insights and thoughts to create a fascinating book. It will be something of interest to the photographer and layman alike, as it goes beyond her beautiful images to strike a chord with anyone interested and concerned about the Earth on which we live."

-Tim Barnwell, photographer and author of

The Face of Appalachia, On Earth's Furrowed Brow and Hands in Harmony

 

Photographs from the Gulf Coast, Blue Ridge Mountains, Pacific Northwest, Great Britain and other beautiful places in nature are paired with prose describing the author's experience there. More than a book of images, readers experience a journey to the heart of nature, where spirit is found. The last section of the book contains images from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Crisis including beaches, wildlife, and freshwater habitats.

Poems by Thomas Rain Crowe

Photographs by Simone Lipscomb

"Consistent with the central metaphor that infuses the book's title poem, Crack Light offers readers a range of profound if at times shadowy glimpses into overlooked or neglected places across Appalachia, and in the process the book illuminates the essential nature of those places. Crowe's poems and Lipscomb's photographs work in tandem to transport the reader into the heart--and, if the reader opens his or her heart to the book's charms, into the soul--of Appalachia."

-Ted Olson, author of Blue Ridge Folklife and Breathing in Darkness

Thomas Rain Crowe is an internationally recognized poet and translator

"Thomas Crowe's phrasing of the voices that resound throughout the hill country of western North Carolina echoes the mutally-enhancing presence of humans and the Earth that is the high experience to which we are called." Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth
