Webster Young's colorful lyric poetry is matched with John Axline's black and white nature photography in this descendant of the photo and poetry classic Not Man Apart (Robinson Jeffers and Ansel Adams). It reflects Webster Young's love of California and its unities of mountain ranges, the Pacific Coast, its chain of missions, its magnificent aqueduct and agriculture, and its system of universities from North to South. One of the longer poems is entitled The Career of Ansel Adams. The New Mexico section matches stunning photos of Santa Fe, the desert, and the Sangre de Cristo mountains with intense poems reflecting the poet's ten years living in Cerillos, New Mexico. Young's poetry is lyrical, using lines of various meters and all types of rhyme in a non-conventional scheme. Axline's photos are in the classical tradition of Ansel Adams, yet also have a slightly new slant, within a solid photographic composition, to capture characteristic landscape details and points.
