Pencilwork of Elina Warsta is sovereign. Already on the front cover of the novel the wild nature peeps out among the shining silver foil and deep grey calico, to really burst out on the flyleaf into a wild exuberance leading to the depths of the book. The asymmetrical binding only adds to the special nature of this book object.

Once opening this book the reader has to accept the challenge, as from under a sombre cover appears a bright, fruit-laden flyleaf. Visual imagery is a seamless part of the content, and typesetting, emojis, photos, and the very language itself are joined together. Form-set poems receive meaning from typography, which interprets through the textual content. Fragments reaching towards both each other and the world itself create a full and complete work of art.

This small charming book of poems is well balanced in all aspects. Typography breathes in harmony and the slightly yellow tone tunes in with the colour scheme of the cover. Cover reminiscent of the past decades charms with its illustrative work, nostalgic and skillfully styled.
