Stone Music: The Art and Poetry of Susan Gardner

Poetry. Art. Susan Gardner is an exceptionally accomplished painter, photographer, and poet. STONE MUSIC, a large format collection with 44 color plates, features Gardner's work in each of these art forms. It presents a rich blend of classic aesthetics and personal insight. The book is an object of visual delight fully in keeping with the elegant, compelling nature of its content. Her visual and literary art still reflects the style of forceful spontaneity and directness she developed early in her career. "Her art speaks of what is not seen yet is present, of what is common yet irredeemably precious"—J. W. Mahoney.
