Not only was I deeply honored when Robert Okaji enlisted me to be the cover artist for his new chapbook, From Every Moment A Second, but the task proved to be one of the most inspiring and rewarding creative endeavors of my life.

I call this piece, “Dream of Flight,” after a line from a poem in Bob’s stunning collection, entitled, “Mayflies.” I hope it offers readers a small sense of the ways in which my life will never again be the same for having read this magnificent little collection of poetry!

  I loved Stephanie’s use of color in the art on her blog, so I asked if she’d do the cover. Can’t even begin to express my gratitude!

  And it’s doubly awesome because the images are based on the text. How many authors get that treatment? 🙂

A woman of so many talents. The cover looks very cool. That lightning which seems to imperil everything because of the discarded bottle. A simple & immediate message. Lucky man ain’t you Mr Okaji?

  Isn’t it fitting? I had to have those colors. It will be a pleasure to hold, but alas we have to wait until October.
