Matsu Kaze

Matsu Kaze : The WInd in the Pines is a symphonic poem cycle rooted in the specific eco-scape of the longleaf pine forest of the North Carolina Sandhills. The ancient pines are both witness and healer in this journey through the realms of the human spirit. Here is a provocative memoir of damage—of flawed dreams and despair, loss and grieving, suffering and salvation, and, ultimately, the hope and renewal that emerges from our deep attention and connection to the natural world. Illustrated with original Japanese brush paintings by international artist Carol Van Zandt.
