This text marries the work of landscape painter, Joellyn Duesberry, and poet, Pattiann Rogers. They both express their personal responses to nature as it passes through the metamorphoses of the four seasons, sharing a reliance on the evocative use of compression and distillation. Duesberry's monotypes are by turns poetic and edgy, scenic and abstract, representing sites in Alaska, California, New York and other places throughout the USA. The moods of her paintings are paralleled in Rogers' 13 poems.
