In fact, you're looking at her tears. . . .  There's] poetry in the idea that our emotional terrain bears visual resemblance to the physical world; that our tears can look like the vistas we see out an airplane window. Fisher's images are the only remaining trace of these places, which exist during a moment of intense feeling--and then vanish.\" --\u003cb\u003eNPR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\" A] delicate, intimate book. . . .

In this powerful collection of images, an award-winning photographer trains her optical microscope and camera on her own tears and those of men, women, and children, released in moments of grief, pain, gratitude, and joy, and captured upon glass slides. These duotone photographs reveal the beauty of recurring patterns in nature and present evocative, crystalline imagery for contemplation. Underscored by poetic captions, they translate the mysterious act of crying into an atlas mapping the structure and magnificence of our interior lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRose-Lynn Fisher\u003c\/b\u003e is an artist and author of the International Photography Award-winning studies \u003ci\u003eBee\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Topography of Tears\u003c\/i\u003e.
