INVITE NATURE INSIDE

Whispers From Nature — original poetry and nature photography inspired by nature.
Photographic artist, Kent Burkhardsmeier, combines the beauty of nature with the poetic whispers of nature in two surreal coffee table books. Walk within nature through the poetic words penned by the author while letting your soul escape into the visual well-being offered in each image. 

STILLNESS: WHISPERS FROM NATURE

STILLNESS intertwines outdoor landscape images and original poems by photographic artist / author Kent Burkhardsmeier.  Several weeks into the 2020 pandemic, Burkhardsmeier discovered comfort while meditating on his previously photographed nature images. The more time he spent with the prints, the more they whispered tranquility to his soul.
 

The poems reveal the author’s journey seeking peace in nature—through nature's universal voice of presence, centering, and hope. The images offer space for the heart and mind to wander—carefree.

AWARENESS: WHISPERS FROM NATURE

AWARENESS continues the poetic photobook journey of award-winning, landscape photographer Kent J Burkhardsmeier.

 

AWARENESS is the second book in the author's Whispers From Nature collection. Meditation with nature images offered the photographic artist comfort while confined indoors during the 2020 pandemic. Unwilling to travel during lockdown, Kent discovered poetry flowing forth as a new creative outlet while in the presence of his images of nature—this thoughtful interflow of words and images soothes the reader.

 

STILLNESS, “speaks about centering while present with nature.” Whereas AWARENESS ponders nature's messages, insights, and her shared wisdom.” Within each combined poetry-photography spread, the author shares “uncovered inner pearls” with the reader. Kent dedicates three poems to those impacted by the 2020 pandemic.
