WATER MUSIC
Photographs by Jason Stemple
Boyds Mills 1995
ISBN# 1-56397-336-7 Boyds Mills hardcover
 

Though technically Jason's second book (after "A Letter from Phoenix Farm," it's his first book of the heart. He and I found a number of water images he'd already shot in the Colorado mountains, and he then took off across country to California to shoot in the Big Sur country as well. Next he came home for a visit to Massachusetts where he shot the rubber duckie photograph, suds in the grass, iris after rain, goldfish in pool, and several others. I had a ball sitting with the prints all around the room working on poems that had the same watery feel. My own favorite in the book is the rubber duckie poem and the Water Lace (for which I had to do research since I know nothing about making lace or doing embroidery.)

       Available in Boyds Mills hardcover.
