Summary
  1. Vivid wildflowers abloom in Yellowstone, a clear white moon rising over Death Valley - these and other photos record the parkland's stupendous natural beauty in a fashion simply unequaled anywhere else. Jorstad's images are complemented throughout by the thoughtful reflections of Mark Strand, one of this country's greatest poetic voices, a recent honoree as America's poet laureate, and himself no stranger to art and nature. Meditating on the meaning and experience of the national parklands and on the impact of Jorstad's work, Strand's words allow us to see the American wilderness and Jorstad's photographs of that wilderness through the clear eyes of a poet. Beautiful and compelling, These Rare Lands is immensely satisfying to the eye, the mind, and the heart.
