Living Nature's Moments
Living Nature's Moments: A Conversation Between Poetry and Photography, by poet Cristina M. R. Norcross and fine art photographer Patricia Bashford, consists of 30 poems and 30 photographs. It is a celebration of the theatre of nature's display, as well as a tribute to how moments of awe-inspiring beauty can nourish the soul. Readers will engage with the written word and the visual splendor of breathtaking landscapes. Hidden narratives set the stage for a viewing of nature's creatures in flight and on land.

Still Life Stories
"I live inside layers of color," Cristina Norcross confides in this moving collection, Still Life Stories.

Unsung Love Songs
Unsung Love Songs follows a poetic journey through romantic love, familial love, universal love, as well as acceptance and love of the self. The main emphasis of this collection is romantic love. The first flush of romance always involves fireworks, flowers and much swooning. This initial burst of passion is just the beginning. What happens when couples have families and they collect anniversaries too numerous to count? If you are fortunate enough to find true love and keep it, then it is the moments of constancy, humor and co-existing that make up an enduring partnership. This collection of poems celebrates the quiet, every day moments of love and how the recognition of this deep, abiding calmness can be the heart's biggest flourish of all. (Painting on cover by artist, Dint Sweitzer, "The Dancers.") Cristina M. R. Norcross is the author of Land & Sea: Poetry Inspired by Art (2007), The Red Drum (2008) and Unsung Love Songs (2010).
