Book Overview
Glimpses Toward Infinity features Gordon Parks's most innovative and artistically dynamic works to date - evocative images of objects found in nature arranged in imaginary landscapes painted by the artist himself - alongside his most recent poems, including a moving homage to the Oklahoma City bombing. Parks has gracefully captured the fragile splendors of land and sea, including flowers, leaves, and shells, in photographs that speak of timelessness - of infinity.

I have read many of Gordon's works. This offering is seasoned with the sage of a wiser thinker (if that's even possible). The color and composition of the photos is stellar. I have seen none better. The words which accompany the pictures are almost as captivating as the visual experience. The pictures which stand alone are equally as dynamic inasmuch as they make you want to take them apart and see how they work. You will want to get a copy for yourself and one for each of your closest "art lover" friends or associates.
