Book of the Week: opening
Suezan Aikins produced a series of hand-written (though mechanically reproduced) and hand-bound chapbooks in the 1990s, of which opening (Prospect Press, 1998) is a good representative. She is know for her evocative and occasionally colorful illustrations as well as her poems, which are usually terse for their time, sharply etched and often persuasively moving.
You can read the entire book in the THF Digital Library.
Do you have a chapbook published 2010 or earlier you would like featured as a Book of the Week? Contact us for details.
