From the publisher:
The Poetry of Being expresses artist Lynne Buchanan’s response to the fragility and perseverance of nature through photographs and haikus. Images of what was, things still hanging on, the effects of climate change, and the cycle of life make up this ever-relevant monograph. The book’s quadtone printing process mimics the original photographs’ platinum palladium prints evoking a sense of beauty in their darkness and underscoring the importance of connecting with the environment to find hope in challenging times. Buchanan made the photographs on a mountain ridge near her home and areas she could drive to in Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, and North Carolina during lockdown in the first Covid wave. The act of photographing became a daily ritual that helped ground her and keep her balanced during a period of profound isolation. The book is interspersed with poetry by James Lenfestey and Lynne Buchanan.
