Strides: reflections on 6 acres takes the reader and viewer on
meditative walks through a small plot of New York's Hudson Valley
where author Laurence Carr lives. With an eye to detail, these short
personal essays and poems explore our relationship with the
topography, vegetation, and animal life, along with the stone walls
and structures often overlooked. Sometimes mystical, and sometimes
whimsical, these pieces bring the spirit of the natural world to the reader.
Joined by artist Edward M. O'Hara who has added images based on his
own nature walks, Strides creates a collaboration of word and image that
connects reader and viewer to the world around us and to ourselves.
