From the back cover: “Distant Voices is a magical book. I love it. It is art en face with poetry. They can stand alone or be appreciated as a single piece. The art is fluid and works well with its poem. The poems are gentle and informative. I enjoy living with each one for a while before moving on to the next pair. The poet’s tenderness is special and the artist’s work is equally special. What a gift.”
–CB Follett, Poet Laureate of Marin County, CA 2010–2013

Inspiration

Distant Voices is a meditation on art as collaboration—with nature, memory, disruption, and the unseen voices that guide us. Blending Western calligraphy with the freedom of Eastern brushwork, Sherrie Lovler weaves poetry and painting into a single practice, where words become movement and images become language. Circles, moons, and marks echo the rhythms of life, reminding us to listen for what speaks beyond words.
