The Soul Tree presents luminous photographs from the Blue Ridge Parkway and lyric poems written in resonance with the images.
Each page presents a unique layout design created to inspire the reader with both the power of art and the power of nature. While all the images present the vistas and details of the region, the poetry, deeply rooted in the nature imagry of sacred texts, speaks to the universal fusion of internal and external realities.
The poems illuminate the themes of vision, faith, healing and, ultimately, the vital sacrality of nature. Poet Laura Hope-Gill and photographer John Fletcher's stunning renderings of the land capture both the form and spirit of the mountains beloved by so many.
