Midnight: Photographs and Haiku

Kevin Nance

Perfect Pairings – There are some basic rules to pairing wine with food. The wine should have a similar intensity as the food. It’s better to match wine with the sauce than with the meat. Whether you pair congruently or contrastingly, the match should elevate both. In “Midnight,” Kevin Nance serves another evocative, powerful pairing of words and images. I read and re-read this slender volume feeling a rhapsody of emotion as well as admiration for Nance’s control of harmony, striking just the right, careful balance that prevents one piece of art from dominating the other, and lifts both to flourish in tandem.
