“Let it be said that Airlie Press, here and in other books, presents a sleek, beautiful edition, worthy of the poet’s talents, to offer an experience all of a piece. Turning the high-quality, artfully designed pages, or gazing as I did numerous times at the front cover of a crow standing atop a tilted children’s carousel, ambiguous harbinger, runt tree bending over the bird’s figure, behind it an empty sky smudged gray and white, the foreground spare grass and dead leaves, is an odd and affecting pleasure.” —Johnny Payne, Merion West

The ouroboros, an alchemical symbol, expresses the interconnection of all things, material and spiritual. I was pleased that the author responded positively when I proposed it. Read more here.
