Cover Reveal

I am THRILLED to reveal the cover of my new book of poetry, Anatomical Venus. The cover was created by Jess Richter, an artist whose work I have admired for a while. I was so excited when my publisher told me they had commissioned her to make my cover, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. Jess captured the vibe of the poems completely, and I’m honoured to have her work on the cover.
