Currently working on the release of two poetry books through Hog Press, an imprint of Culicidae Press. The first one is by David Norris and the other by John Doyle. Interiors and covers are almost done...
Norris' book is titled 'A Bird Sings or Its Heart Will Break' and Doyle's book is called 'Isolated Incidents'.
Both texts should be available worldwide by the end of July. See below images of the book covers. John Doyle designed the cover for his book while polytekton designed the Norris cover(s). The author picked the darker one with the landscape. Any one out there who would go for the simple one with the single bird and the blossoms? Add your perspective in the comments;--)
