AND WINTER REMINDS ME
by Michelle Overby
(030)
The thrilling third volume of modern haiku by Michelle Overby. Those familiar with “I STAYED UP LISTENING” and “I WAS THE NOSTALGIA” know how much of a moment this is the celebrate! Those new to her work, get ready to feel your own pulse more with these living sparks made from words. Michelle’s poems cascade down the page as they have in the previous books, but in this volume they have the joyful spin of having been entirely hand-written by Michelle in her expressive yet entirely legible (a rare treat) hand.
The dust jackets of these particular books are printed on very beautiful textured, simple-stripe dark green paper with gold type.

We hope to someday offer some official Michelle Overby non-book merchandise such as a t-shirt with “I too had wilting kale” on it. Or not. Are we joking? You decide.
The endpapers were drawn by Michelle’s husband, celebrated artist Jason Overby, who also did the endpaper texture drawings for her previous Two Plum books. Here’s a Mercury article about him as well!
