“Echoes from Within”
(A book of Haiku)
“Throughout his poetic journey within perceptions, emotions and revelations, Joseph traces the perfect Circle of Virtues imparted by Oriental Wisdom: Eloquence, Literary Talent, Compassion, Purity and Courage. None of these individual Virtues ever becomes ostentatious or excessive, never occupying the center, and thus, never breaking the harmony of the Circle, which becomes that of infinite evolution. As our spirit listens to Echoes from Within, we become One with this evolution and with the Poet.” – (Maria Alexandra Oliveira – artist and poet)

“Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream”
(A book of photography with bilingual texts (English and Portuguese) of poetry and poetic prose by Joseph Sherman and Alexandra Oliveira)
“What can one say that will relay a picture of this magnificent work that has not been said in its very own introduction: “Dream is the composer and the music, the canvas and the painter, the sculptor and the essence beyond the sculpture, the photographer and the silent eloquence of the image, the poet and all poetry, the first hope and the last rope, the bird and the wave, the breath and the blaze….kaleidoscope of colors and shapes, waiting to be revealed…in all the Universes Beyond the Visible.”
As we go about our daily routines many of us have our minds tuned to frequencies other than those explored in this book and plays of light on ordinary objects and substances often pass into oblivion with never a leading or following thought. The authors show their uncanny ability to capture the poetic and artistic character of light falling on those commonplace objects and substances and to explore the unknown, unseen of each in prose and poetry. In the presence of such image masters, a sense of admiration wells — even something of an element of awe.
Joseph’s camera folds the viewer into his own world as he captures hues and tints — subtle or brilliant — color flows that are unique, never to be formed in this universe again — whether of sun dimpled surfaces and landscapes, of ethereal plumes dancing in romantic passionate flamenco, rushing white water tableaus, or ancient orchard stones in placid settings of after-season vineyard castaways. His words and Alexandra’s soft poetic probes couch each photo and take us beyond the visible to the elements of dream that this work so elegantly encompasses. The complementary nature of the entwined contributions to the book is noteworthy — indeed it becomes a metaphor for the shared love between the co-authors.
Your mind will open to more possibilities beyond the visible universe, having enjoyed the sensual pleasures of “Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream.” – (Leland Waldrip – author, poet and inventor)
