The Calming

by Jamie Oliveira

Written while in travel and in transition, The Calming evokes the feeling of roads, trains, new environments, and new sensations as the dialogue between the inner world and the external world approach communion. Oliveira's work is often existential, sometimes questioning, sometimes resolving, but always with feeling. Threads of old grief and contented detachment accompany honest, naked illustrations and prose, weaving together a collection on the border between the ascetic contemplations of a mystic and the vulnerable confessions of a woman who dreams and loves.
