The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Tim Hetherington, 1970-2011
Our hearts are broken today over news of the death of GQ contributing photographer Tim Hetherington, who was killed early Wednesday in Misurata, Libya, while reporting on the revolution. Shown above is a photograph from his most recent book, Infidel, a collection of images from his time as an embed with a U.S. military platoon in Afghanistan while making his award-winning documentary Restrepo, which he co-directed with the author Sebastian Junger. Click here to see a full slideshow of Tim’s work.
One of Tim’s final magazine assignments was a recent project for GQ about the swift destruction of hundreds of abandoned houses in Detroit. The story, and his gorgeous, haunting photography, appears in our May 2011 issue. We are honored to have it, and to have worked with such an enormous talent.
An amazing man. I’m stunned, at a loss.Rest In Peace.
