Poetry Book Cover!

I am delighted to have one of my paintings grace the cover of a collection of poems by Su Love (formerly Su Smallen). The book, called Weight of Light, is due fresh to the stores by Green Writers Press next month!
According to Green writers Press: Su Smallen is the author of six collections of poetry. Her first collection, Weight of Light, was nominated for the Pushcart Press Editor’s Book Award, and Buddha, Proof was a Minnesota Book Award Finalist. Su was awarded the Jane Kenyon Poetry Prize, several fellowships and grants including from the Jerome Foundation, and residencies including with the St. Croix Watershed Research Station. With Laurel Poetry Collective, she published books and broadsides for ten years. Su was a professional choreographer and dancer, and her poetry has served as scores for dance and film, including Miracle of the Spring.

Sue will be reading from her newest Green Writers Press poetry collection entitled Kinds of Snow on April 15th at Green Writers Press. More info can be found on her website: www.susmallen.com

The painting was a large one I did when going through the thickest part of a divorce. A woman almost obscured by a swirl of maps stands in a dark, book shelf lined, space with a dripping red object in her hands. If you want to know more, I can tell you.

Meanwhile please go out and buy the book! Thanks- Tilly
