COVER PHOTO BY JILL KHOURY. IMAGE DESCRIPTION: On a pale background, a carousel horse sits on a plate, surrounded by lush green leaves and moss. A green stalk seems to grow from the withers. The stalk bisects the title “earthwork.”
Winner of the 2023 Gatewood Prize! Support indie presses by purchasing earthwork from Switchback Books.
cover photo by pete eckert. Image description: on a black background, a ballerina dances. Light painting records the trajectory of her arms up and and down. so it looks like she is exposed many times. her arms are reflected in fiery projections.
Support indie presses by ordering Suites for the Modern Dancer at the Sundress Publications website or purchase on Amazon.
Cover art by mandem. image description: the cover is like a palimpsest with multiple typed pages. The most prominent words are “hold the spirit of / into the body.” overlaying all the pages is a tattered scrim of moss, with a pink budding flower in the upper right corner.
