The Land of Green Eyes: One Hundred Poems with One Hundred Photographs Daniel Ontengco

This book is about a beautiful dream that was real for a short but wonderful time. Just like the photographs in the text the entire book is a snapshot preserving a moment of time and the feeling of that moment. Life is just a series of moments and mine in The Land of Green Eyes was magical. It is also a collaboration between two artists and the merging of their respective creative forces. Each brings something unique and special to the dream making it a much stronger entity than if presented alone. Therefore, the poems in the book are accompanied by original artistic photographs. Some photographs inspired the poems and some of the poems inspired the photographs. My hope is that the reader enjoys seeing and feeling parts of this sweet dream. I know that I loved it so much myself that I hope to one day return.
