time - Paperback

time is a book of photography and poetry pairings curated to inspire new perspectives. It is the third book of photography and poetry from Antoinette LeCouteur and Peter J Dudley, following up their inspiring release of together in 2023 and their second book, twist in 2024. In those books, all the poetry was inspired by the photographs. In time, the pairings are a mix of poetry inspired by photography and photography selected to match the poem. We challenge you to guess which came first in each pairing.

Antoinette sees the world in ways many people do not, and she captures that view through photographs she takes with her phone. It may be a drop of dew glistening on a blade of grass in a friend's lawn, or a bee asleep in a flower. The photographs in this book have been selected to represent feelings associated with the concept of and realities of time.

Peter's poetry tends toward themes of longing, humor, loss, and impermanence. Each poem tells an intriguing or humorous story that invites the reader to think deeply and find new layers of meaning upon each reading. The poems in this book were selected for the way they may prompt the reader to examine their relationship with time.

Each photo and each poem stands as a piece of art on its own. Together, each pairing creates a third piece of art that further enriches the reader's experience.
