On Beauty
The book On Beauty is a collaboration between the fine art photographer Lenny Foster and the poet J. M. White, bringing together fifty fine art photographs and fifty poems that embody the ideal of beauty. The poetry in this volume digs into the aesthetics of beauty, what is it that makes something beautiful, and when something appears beautiful what is it in our response to it that elicits that sensation of beauty.
Sample poem from On Beauty
art shifts the focus
from individual concerns
to the basic human nature
revealing a place in each person
where all humans are alike
those who experience this
accept others without prejudice
then all that had been concealed
can be revealed
without guilt or shame
as human all too human
it is the work of art
to reveal the beauty in each thing
