Thanks to The Rumpus for featuring my poem “Introduction to the Limits of Metaphor (a Love Story)” on The Rumpus today!
And now, for the big reveal of the cover! Now, Judith Kerman, the editor of Mayapple Press, does her own cover design, and I think what she came up with is pretty great – but let me know what you think in the comments!
The artist we decided to go with is amazing Japanese artist Masaaki Sasamoto, and the piece is called “Cocoro.” I love the combination of the gold, the butterfly, and the apparently sleeping girl/robot.
And here’s the cover with the title, the author name, and an ingenious kind of combination of butterflies and gears coming out from the picture. This is, of course, an early mockup of the cover, but we like it!
Lynn Pedersen
Wow! Really like how the art integrates so much of what the book will contain, explore or evoke.
Pat Fargnoli
what a luxurious gorgeous cover design
Julie Brooks Barbour
Wonderful! It’s a beautiful cover, Jeannine.
rebecca loudon
Jeannine I think it’s fantastic!
Jessica
Stunning! Rich in color and texture.

Thank you Lynn, Pat, Julie, Rebecca, and Jessica! I agree and wouldn’t have thought I would find something like this – both beautiful and kind of threatening, foreboding, creepy!
