This project began four years ago after thinking about cover songs. A good cover song is one artist's tribute to another, as the covering musician tries to capture and reflect the profound way that the original song hits them. In this collection of paintings, I wanted to create my own "covers" of poets and their words. I chose seven poets whose work deeply affected me and these paintings are the expression of my experience.
The book features the art (both close up and full page) as well as commentary provided by the artist in response to discussion questions that were asked by Reverend Michael LeMaire M Div, BCC.
