Synopsis

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.
