Things appear to be moving along with my next poetry collection. I just received a few sample cover designs, and I think we'll be using something along the lines of this one.


The photo is Tom's, of course, and the clothespin horse is James's. He built it when he was very young, probably four or five years old, apropos of nothing in particular. He just picked up a handful of clothespins and instantly created a beautiful expressive horse.

Very appropriate cover, I'd say. Can't wait for the book.

I like that the horse has a certain metaphorical resonance with the Phaeton poems that open and close the book. But I'd like the cover anyway, I think, even without that link. It always makes me happy to see Tom's photos on my book covers.
