In the cold and rainy month of March 2011 multimedia artist Marietta Patricia Leis was invited to be Artist in Residence by the Morris Graves Foundation. The Foundation and Residency was located at the northern California estate of the late renowned artist Morris Graves. An impressive visual artist, Graves was also a master at creating personal living environments of grace, peacefulness and beauty. The serenity of the Residency setting created by Graves prompted Leis to press her life’s pause button. Living and working in this remarkable Japanese influenced studio and landscape of giant redwood trees and serene pond inspired Leis to express her time there in art and verse. The art and poems in Pausing reflect her tranquil state of being as she ensconced herself in the Graves milieu. Without modern electronic distractions it was a memorably simple time for Marietta. You will sense that simplicity in this elegant little volume perhaps encouraging you to consider your own “pause” button.
Praise for Pausing...
Pausing is quite remarkable and beautiful. Some poems tug at me as works of art. What is evident in these pages are poems that are fun, moving and insightful. Engaging poems that feel right at home with the quality and brilliance of Marietta’s visual art.— Dale Biron, author, Why We Do Our Daily Practices
Elegant in its simplicity, Pausing is a collection of art and poetry that responds to experience in a deeply aesthetic way. Leis gives us the peace of how light strikes water, subtle nuances of color with the emergence of tranquility. It is an unusually beautiful book. We are fortunate to share its vision.— Miriam Sagan, author, Seven Places in America A Poetic Sojourn
Marietta’s poems are full of quietness, stillness and the calmness of a lake. I love the book’s simplicity of words and art and am especially thankful for the poem Japan’s Havoc. Pausing is a treasure.— Taro Aizu, author, My Fukushima
PAUSING A book of reflections in Art and Poetry Marietta Patricia Leis Books
Marietta Patricia Leis has written a collection of tender, exquisitely wrought poems that celebrate nature and the contemplative life. Her method is to invoke places, states of being, insights--in a few astonishing words. Her art, generously reproduced in this lovely volume, betrays an integrated sensibility, one that reveres essences, world-encompassing simplicity and a kind of reverence for all that lives and breathes. Each poem lives in the mind as a kind of prayer.Product details

PAUSING A book of reflections in Art and Poetry Marietta Patricia Leis Books Reviews
Marietta Leis writes from passion. This collection of poems covers many emotions. It is a collection piece that should be part of any readers journey. I'm going to share it over and over.
If you can't get a Graves residency and soak up the serenity for yourself, Leis's book of poems and paintings is the next best thing. A wonderful series of meditations and reflections on day-to-day moments. And this would surely be an excellent gift book.
A very accessible , lovely little book of thoughtful short poems ( coupled with her art) that come from those everyday events.
Dick Goldberg
A thoughtful, peaceful & lovely visual and poetic meditation reflecting the author's experience with self & nature. Her connection to both is palpably obvious in this precious and beautifully crafted little book.
I greatly admire Marietta's paintings and this small book which has her poems included with photos of her work is lovely and a nice insight to some of her work.
