• A beautiful pairing of a mother's poetry, written for her daughters, with photographs inspired by the poems, taken by her daughter, Dorothy Monnelly

Renown landscape photographer Dorothy Monnelly discovered a box of her mother's poems in the attic of their home when she was still a teenager. Those poems are presented here in a sequence that follows her mother's life - from memories of childhood on through maturity, marriage, children and struggles with breast cancer. Her mother left these poems as her "creative" legacy for her daughters. They are shown here to evidence a dialog between a mother and a daughter - each pursuing their own art forms.

About the Author

Dorothy Kerper Monnelly is a well-known photographer whose last publication, Between Land & Sea: The Great Marsh (Braziller, 2007) earned her the following rave review: "No landscape photographer at work today has done more to focus attention on the spectacular beauty of New England's threatened coastal marshes than Dorothy Kerper Monnelly." Legendary naturalist Edward O. Wilson had called her "the Ansel Adams of the wetlands."
