Tamarack & Clearcut is the result of a collaboration between
two artists of rare gifts. In it, a series of photographs of huge
and original impact moves in tandem with a powerful
sequence of imagist poems. As you savour these images,
visual and poetic, you become increasingly sensitized
to the city, that hub of human habitation, as it exists in its
particular natural setting. This book chronicles the deep
and necessarily abiding connection between urbanites
and their natural world. Although the place is Ottawa,
the truths and beauties it illuminates are universal,
for here, as everywhere, it is the earth itself that nurtures us.
George Johnston in a review in Books in Canada said of this
book, "... its substance will reward proportionally any
amount of serious attention, both visual and thoughtful,
that may be given to it."
