DESCRIPTION : With more than 150 color photographs by Carl Hiebert and the poetry of contemporary haitian writers Syto Cavé and Anthony Phelps, Where Light Speaks : Haiti takes readers on an incredible journey across one of the world's most fascinating landscapes.

The 168 page book, which includes passages in english, french, and creole, was produced through the collaboration of Hiebert, a Canadian photographer [...] and Yates, a writer who has lived in Haiti since 1992. Hiebert and Yates spent three months traveling throughout the country, searching for images that not only illustrated the beauty of Haiti but also the dignity of a proud people.

Incredibly, Hiebert completed his assignment, which included treks through mountain passes, aerial photography, and shoots in remote coastal areas, in his wheelchair. Hiebert was disabled following a hang-gliding accident in 1981.
