sidereal. the afterimage
Selected works by Barbara Morton, Entropie Books
“sidereal. the afterimage is a new chapter of creative composition, and achieves an extension of intention and originality in the expression of poetry, book-making, drawing, and design. The accompanying pieces, demonstrate ambition and creative reach, both technically and imaginatively, and serve to maintain and develop an ongoing purpose of bringing poetry and poetic text to its aesthetic and accurate environment. To encourage the reader to look and to encourage the viewer to read. To look closely. To look again. To look for longer.”
