“Stretching Silver through Blue Haze is a mesmerizing co-creation of poetry and photography by a husband and wife team committed to an unflinching, unapologetic exploration of intimate relationship. One is lulled into a stark, sometimes painfully human world of relentless honesty, uncertainty, vulnerability, and beauty. The verbal and visual imagery expose a visceral, specific truthfulness, amplified by their environment. An exploration that is as raw and provocative as it is strangely peaceful, and deeply relatable. Such wonderful synergy and nuance between photo and poem. You can pick this book up at any time, turn to any page, and be transcended.” “A festival of words and images. A feast that indulges all your emotions. Here’s a poet using his compelling artistry to share intimate thoughts, passions, and life experiences with his best friends.” “Stretching Silver Through Blue Haze is imbued with a sense of place, of geography, both visual and emotional. Bare, unapologetic, startling — the photography takes my breath; the lush poems give it back. Gregory’s poems reveal an inner tension, a coupling of desire and regret, a landscape of longing. Damn good words and pictures. I want to fall in.” |
