Meridian: A Raw Thoughts Book

by John Casey, Scott Hussey (Photographer)

Overview

Meridian charts a uniquely aesthetic path via a symbiotic fusion of poetic and photographic art from the darkest of places to a place of light while addressing analysis and improvement of thought in a manner that, while sentimental, is more cognitive and more refined than most will instinctively endeavor to comprehend. This serves to awaken the mind to a better understanding of the thoughts of others, and of life in general.

Meridian is Book Two in The Raw Thoughts Series. Book One is titled Raw Thoughts: A Mindful Fusion of Poetic and Photographic Art. Raw Thoughts was nominated for the National Book Award and the Griffin Poetry Prize. Select poems from the book were nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
