As great art aspires to do, the cloud-like glyphs and sticks and smudges light up the wires that turn images into thoughts and words. Often the bright colors of the sidewalk art are more hopeful than the world in which they exist. Vincent provides the perfect mixture for our troubling times: words that cut to the quick or directly observe the \u201cview\u201d below his feet, always illuminating and illuminated by what nature and humans do to mark the environment by accident or intention. In this heartfelt collaboration, walk with him through the pages: there\u2019\u2019s much to see!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2014 <strong>Maxine Chernoff<\/strong>, Poet, most recently\u00a0author of <em>Light and Clay: New and Selected Poems<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lavenderink.org\/site\/books\/stephen-vincent\">Stephen Vincent<\/a><br \/>\n9781956921694<br \/>\nThat most difficult kind of writing: simple &amp; astonishing.
