Art which narrows the distance between visual and literary explorations seems particularly appropriate for a library. Testa-Secca, Pachner, Covington, and Kollwitz may be viewed from this perspective. Florida References . Florida, the natural environment, and interpretations of the landscape are appropriate elements when found in works of artistic merit. Works by Kashdin, Bierce, and new pieces by Jean Blackburn and Clyde Butcher explore this theme.
