Fly with Me

"Fly With Me" is Ute Buehler's first book of poetry. While German is her native language, she shows a mastery of English and the artistry of poetry and photography in this book. Each poem and each photograph is beautifully integrated. Together they set forth her vision of art, creativity and a broad understanding of the nature of love. In "Fly With Me" it is hard to know what came first, the poems or the pictures because what they all do is create a sense of optimism. These poems are filled with honesty and hopefulness, even when dealing with weighty subjects such as a diagnosis of cancer. Ute Buehler shares a sensibility of buoyancy and beauty that enriches us.

Born in Germany, Ute Buehler had a lifelong yearning to travel the world and to record and share her perceptions.

Although employed in a technical field, her creative spirit led her to photography, the perfect medium to capture her responses to the physical world as she searched Europe for home . Ultimately, it was in North America where her spirit came to rest; her explorations there led her to expand her creative self as a photographer and writer while exploring her identity as an American citizen with passion for her new country.

Ute s photographic work has been exhibited locally and nationally,, has been published internationally and is represented in private collections; her writing is published and available online. This book, her first collection of poetry, combines words and photos in a magical way that captures her soul s reflections and invites its readers to observe their own responses to her wise and perceptive observations.
