The vibrant light and exotic landscape of Florida captured by Frank Dienst during ten years of work are beautifully reproduced in this contemplative book, named one of the best of 1999 by Shutterbug. The subjects are simple, but they convey the transcendent power of nature and make an emphatic statement supporting the preservation of our environment in a pristine state. Quotations from D.H. Lawrence, René Magritte, Georges Braque, Black Elk, Carl Jung and others complement the images. Hardbound, 12 1/4" x 12 1/4", 112 pgs., 50 b&w ill.

Wet Land Voices explores man's connection to our natural environment and the visceral language between man and nature. It is a language that can be understood partially by developing sensitivity to nature's symbolism. Our culture has dulled our ability to appreciate and internalize the natural life force that is our planet. Man must preserve the natural environment in a pristine state in an attempt to maintain our essential bond to nature, to understand the language of nature. Standing on the edge of the wet lands at dusk, following the slowly receding light, sensing the slowly moving water, one can feel those ancient voices, natural voices, vibrating and connecting one again, producing a feeling of being part of a much larger whole.
