Barbara Murray took the excellent photographs. They are not meant to illustrate the poems in the traditional meaning of the word; rather, they reflect Barbara's experience of the poems. The process we used was to meet frequently during the writing of this book, and I would read aloud my recently completed poems to her. In the weeks between our meetings, she would record her impressions on film. I believe we have created an engaging combination of poetry and photographic art that you will want to return to again and again.
If the words or the pictures or the word pictures move you to laughter, to tears, or to any emotion in between, you will have experienced a recognition of the common spirit within us all, and I will have accomplished all that I set out to do.
Barbara Murray brings to photography the same qualities by which she lives her life -- which she describes as "living out on the skinny branches with a chain saw in hand." Early in her life she traveled with a circus, performing as a clown, juggler, unicyclist, and trampolinist; then spent seventeen years in gymnastics as a coach, choreographer, and gym owner. Through gymnastics she found her passion for photography, turning the lens to her own young gymnasts. She studied at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco.
