POESIS: flowing along a river of time is a collection of poetry written by Aaron William Perry and illustrated by his son Indigo Hunter Chesnutt-Perry. Covering a quarter century, from Aaron's adolescent years to his early forties, this collection of poems is a woven tapestry with many rich themes: nature, mysticism, love, culture, and travel. It reflects a deep appreciation for life, for Earth, for intimacy and sumptuous aesthetics. In this collection, you'll find references to poets like Gary Snyder (Japhy), musicians like John Coltrane, and commemorations of places like the desert southwest, the Rocky Mountains, Greenwich Village in New York City, the Adirondacks, the Puget Sound, the Austrian Alps, Paris, Florence, Corsica, and the Scottish heath. You'll also be granted a glimpse of some very intimate and emotional pieces related to romantic love, loss, and a deep, mystical connection with the life force and natural intelligence suffusing creation. The illustrations, created during his high school years, reveal Hunter's refined technical detail, eye for shape, color, composition, and visual flow, and combine a variety of themes, media, and stylistic expressions. His pieces range from detailed pencil to water color, and from colorful montage to stark monochromatic abstractions. This special project is a father-son collaboration, that celebrates their enduring love, their love of collaboration, and Hunter's high school graduation and transition into adulthood.
