I am so delighted by this cover for my next book! When the editor of Holy Cow! Press encouraged me to select work by a local artist for the cover, I wasn’t sure where to start. But then this spring, I saw this gorgeous painting by Evan Abrahamson at a gallery, and I just stopped in my tracks. I’m so grateful to have his work on the cover.

Reviews are starting to come in from fellow poets, and here’s a sampling:

“Bright gorgeously illuminates the ‘wild goodness’ of being alive.”

—Ed Bok Lee, American Book Award-winning author of Whorled

“What begins as a commission from the past ends in a love song to the world of here and now.”

—Joyce Sutphen, former Minnesota Poet Laureate
