Overview

In Second Sight Dabney Stuart accompanies reproductions of the paintings of Carroll Cloar with poems that seek to see his work verbally. The poems have a visual element, fostering an interdependence between the two art forms giving a voice to Cloar's distinctive images. Together, the paintings and poems explore the unpredictable, quirky beauty one can find in ordinary life. They also suggest the complex, affectionate ways the imagination can mediate the distance between the human and the natural worlds.
