Into the Mystical
I designed and typeset this wonderful book for Robert Taylor.
The photograph is my own, taken out a plane window while flying to California.

The DreamKeepers, 2012
In 2011-2012, Cody high school was split into four separate factions. InsideOut chose to generate writing from all of them, and the result was a mammoth volume of 120 pages.
Poems ranging from the surreal
I will never forget the day Mr. Blueberry came to me and said, /
“La Mist, I need you to kill a high priority target.
to the funny
Dear Sneakers / I enjoy you so much, / you help me
through my coldest and warmest days.
to the heartbreaking final poem that I worked hard to include alone on the last page:
What Makes My Mother Cry
The day she brought home
my little brother and
the times she spent holding,
bathing, feeding him.
Playing games until he fell asleep.
The day she picked me up early
in tears, saying He’s gone
Being a new father, this brought me to tears. And it wasn't the only one in the book that moved me.[/quote]

Lyrical Fuel
The Citywide poets anthology for 2010 was called "lyrical fuel". I didn't want to call attention to much to gasoline or fire, instead I approached from the angle of the spark. Melding that with the idea of the Motor city, I naturally arrived at a sprakplug.
In retrospect I wish I had taken a more abstract approach. My initial sketches had all sort of iconic representations of the plugs vs. this photograph I took and manipulated.
I think that the abstract concepts of spark & fire— the shapes, directionality, colors would have done just as well to convey the idea as a literal spark plug.
But in the end the singed, fiery visual still works well.
