Down on All Fours is a presentation of a new and unique genre called the photo-poem: original poetry further enhanced with beautiful photography. Poet G. L. Bass (the Ghostbear) ventures into the wilds of Africa, through the forest and woodlands of Wisconsin, and across the wilds of British Columbia. Explore the place where the heart and soul connect to nature and the spirits; through pictures and poetry discover the way into the hearts and souls of wild animals. Equally at home on the Serengeti plains and in the wilds of British Columbia, Bass has experienced five expeditions in Africa. Each work in this collection offers a study of the relationship between nature and man presented in the exceptional combination of words and photographs that comprise a photo-poem. The Bear (Autumn Daze) The bear watches over The valley far below. He knows life will always Have its way. The bear knows There will always be uncertainties Beyond where he can see, Like today's snow clouds Chasing shadows beyond the sun. The bear knows, Boundaries are not forever. They are just other places, And other adventures, Like promises Beyond the horizon. | Down On All Fours by G. L. Bass (the Ghostbear), Paperback | Indigo Chapters
