Writer and photographer Susan Currie sets her pictures to lyrics. Breathtaking, the follow-up to her much revered 2017 release GRACENOTES, further nudges the traditional delivery of poetic verse with type that blooms and sculpts itself around her relaxed photographic captures. In this new collection her lens salutes the fine art of stepping off of the grid and taking refuge in the breath. Making music, meditating, park benching, on two wheels, by foot or along the coast . . . in her signature studies, the author finds the poetry in those everyday instances in which we as a culture try to be free. Through quiet fusions of words and images, Breathtaking translates the language of pausing. A gentle reminder of the beauty available to us in every moment, Breathtaking is right on time and a wonderful tool to keep on hand at home, in the office, in your backpack . . . wherever your days make take you"--
