The Pines - (Hardcover)

About the Book

Pine reflects on the scale of time and how old-growth remnants of a once-vast landscape are more about a place than a tree.

Book Synopsis

The Pines is a photographic exploration looking at remnants of the momentous and sacred old-growth longleaf pinelands across the southeastern United States. Historically, this was once one of America's most significant landscapes. This book is Chuck Hemard's experience in the present that gives a tiny glimpse of insight into both past and future.

Chuck Hemard has work included in public collections across the southeast United States, including the Columbus Museum of Art in Columbus GA and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans.

Nick Norwood is a professor of creative writing at Columbus State University and the director of the Carson McCullers Center for Writers and Musicians in Columbus, Georgia and Nyack, New York.
