Author Description

A collection of paintings and poems that capture the inner and outer landscapes of Maryland's Eastern Shore. Poet and painter collaborate to create paired miniatures-paintings of just a few square inches in gouache, poems in small syllables and brief lines-that reflect on both the fragility and the magnitude of our world. About the Authors: MEREDITH DAVIES HADAWAY is the author of three poetry collections: Fishing Secrets of the Dead, The River is a Reason, and At the Narrows. A teacher of ecopoetry and creative writing, Hadaway lives, writes and teaches on the Chester River. She is currently the Sophie Kerr Poet-in Residence at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland.
