Our cover features a trio of feathers stacked to suggest a leaf form, inspired, of course, by one of the pieces inside—in this case, a poem.

cover
As with the first issue, we’ve produced an edition of screen prints for the cover. We used a technique called a rainbow roll, and though every print contains 3 ink colors, the gradient blend on each is unique. (We began with white, yellow, and red inks and printed a finishing line in metallic gold.) Finished with cerulean blue acrylic stencil. (see below)
Printmakers: Nicci Mechler & Jonathan Rountree.
Interior contents selected by: Nicci Mechler, Lauren Magee, Ashley Blake, Shawn Daniell, Anna Duvall, Karen Chinetti, & Ranee Stemann.
