Where the World Does Not Follow: Buddhist China in Picture and Poem > Customer Review #1:
Stunning.

Where the World Does Not Follow combines spectacular photography of Chinas most remote mountains, with translations of the beautiful and simple poetry of ancient buddhist hermits who once inhabited them. The book opens anywhere to reveal Steven R. Johnsons incredible photographs matched on the facing page, with Mike OConnors artfully rendered translations. Each photograph and each poem in this masterful collection is among the very best I have seen, but the greater joy is how - taken together - each pair of photographs and poems creates an object of profound beauty and simplicity. Where the World Does Not Follow is as unique as it is beautiful.
