Summary
Details

"Reviewed by Constance Stadler for Readers' Favorite

In Shakespeare's The Tempest, Prospero, the master magician, intones: ""We are of such stuff as dreams are made of."" This could be a summation of The Storm Behind Me: A Book of Poems and Pictures by Rory Piontkowski and Sheri Wiseman. It is a compilation of words and visual art that reflects another form of magic...

Beautiful artistic renditions accompany each poem. Interpretations of words visually provide another prism. The talents of Sheri Wiseman and Rory Piontkowski are a synthesis of creativity. The torments we all endure become tangible enemies with palpable dimensions. Unlike most poetry books, there is unity in probing words and affecting images.

Sheri Wiseman and Rory Piontkowski team up, taking inspiration from Nature and each other, to bring together a collection of original paintings and poetry for you to enjoy. Combining images of fantastic, far-away places and stories told about them with more familiar scenes from a unique point-of-view, they take you on a journey through this watery world. The paintings are done in oil, or watercolor, on canvas and represented in this book in high-resolution images alongside a poem written specifically for each.

11 original poems matched to 11 pieces of original art are included."
