This collection of poems by Isis M Grayling and Liam Grayling O'Keeffe delves into the light side and the dark side of the natural world, and is aptly named, 'Chiaroscuro', an early renaissance term to describe the paintings of the Old Masters. The authors believe that this term can be applied to the written word equally as well. The poems selected for this Volume One set out to illustrate how nature can be viewed from this point of view.
