The nature of today’s poetry has given a new look to the book of poems. Just as in the poetry itself, all the senses are engaged on the cover. The typography, so instrumental to prose poetry, provides structure, surprises, entices and leads you enjoyably astray. The solid structure of a work is most simply expressed through typographical means. All traditional beauty is there too: the tender touch of the paper, the snappy binding and the skillfully chosen fonts. Gold on the cover, overall platinum.
