Poets! Show me your favorite poetry book *cover* and tell me why it's great for that collection of poems.
My example: Emilia Phillip's EMBOUCHURE. This collage perfectly matches the book's cheeky, queer, joyful takedown of toxic masculinity.

I rediscovered this photo, today. It’s a find from September. I’m unsure whether it is lichen, but it looks pretty cool.
