A Book of Images

About this book

A moon hangs above a deserted road. Trees seem to walk. A narrow tower rises out of darkness without revealing who built it. In twenty-three ink drawings, W. T. Horton lets familiar landscapes slip quietly into the language of dreams.

The drawings contain very little, yet each shadow and line seems deliberate. W. B. Yeats introduces the collection with an essay on symbolism and the origins of artistic vision. Horton's empty roads and solitary figures leave the viewer searching for stories the artist has chosen to leave untold.
