Recently released from the hospital that treated him through a mental collapse, award-winning poet and photographer Rex Wilder began going for daily walks around California?s Venice canals. It was on these walks that he started photographing birds and experimenting with digital overpainting as a tool to reimagine his photographs. This process helped recharge his spiritual battery and pave a path to mental wellness. A Quiet Place to Land is a collection of these reimagined photographs paired with Rex?s lyrical, earnest reflections, with an introduction by Molli Corcoran. Inspired by early 20th century Pictorialists, Rex transforms his photographs one digital brushstroke at a time. Spreading digital paint on a digital canvas, he carefully layers colors and textures on top of his photos, pulling to the forefront the things that feel most important, thereby creating lasting moments of joy, connection, and safety?glimmers and reflections that he can share with others. Perhaps this book will provide you with a moment of solace, to sit and observe beauty. Sometimes a moment is enough.…

"A Quiet Place to Land is a stunning mix of soothing words and compelling images which offers readers a portal into the world of emotional safety, empathy, exquisite natural beauty, imagination, and a merciful release from our woes. Rex Wilder’s book is a poetic and visually heart-opening book that shows his path towards emotional balance as he was healed by walking though the iconic Venice Beach canals, with its wondrous world of egrets, row boats, and the changing moods of weather and light on water. Highly recommend this book. It is a balm for the soul." Judith Orloff, MD NY Times bestselling author of The Empath’s Survival Guide.
“Rex Wilder has given us a remarkable and creative gift of images and poetry in A Quiet Place to Land... this book reminds us that when we slow down, there is beauty to be taken in all around us." Ken Duckworth, MD, Chief Medical Officer, National Alliance on Mental Illness.
