Beneath the Midi Sun

Bringing their artistic vision and keen sense of awareness, Jim and Carol McCord have traveled throughout Europe recording memorable places and moments in poems and images. Their first collection together, Two Lenses-Four Europes (Shanti Arts, 2019), conveyed the highlights of their travels through England, France, Greece, and Spain. This second collection, Beneath the Midi Sun, offers a focused look at southern France-its remarkable structures and monuments, rivers and lush landscapes, colorful markets and plentiful food, and above all, its relationship with the sun, source of life-giving warmth as it washes over this ancient land and its passionate people.
