A chapbook collection
of poems by poet,
publisher & editor
Heather McPherson
(1942-2017).

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Availiable in ebook & audio versions.

A cover design project that was part of a 2021-22 Spiral collective collaboration with Marian Evans and editor Emer Lyons (Irish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Otago, Aotearoa New Zealand).

The cover was also formed with a certain amount of assumed collaboration:

  • a rendering of Heather's own handwriting to announce her own work;

  • Susan Kare’s 'Geneva' typeface, published in 1983 when professional font design was largely a male preserve;

  • plus, an image from the wonderful 1975 photographic series by Jane Zusters, capturing Heather herself editing at her kitchen table.
