a chapbook by Lori Shine, with art by Kathranne Knight
edition of 200

Shine drifts through these domestic and political scenes with a quiet and moving grace.

Lori Shine’s poem “Coming Down in White” gazes intently and simultaneously at two overwhelming concerns of American life in the 21st century: love, and the war(s) abroad. Slightly bewildered, “I don’t know what happened// my love became so protective is that/what happened” but with the gentle confidence of the wise but slightly-jaded “between hair color commercials/i have been watching the war/say one thing many times/it is the thing they know,” Shine drifts through these domestic and political scenes with a quiet and moving grace.

An accordion-folded chapbook that fits on the bookshelf (folded, 8.5” X 3.5”) but can also function as a wall hanging (unfurled, 8.5” X 60”). Printed on Mohawk with Fabriano covers. The type is Poor Richard. The artwork “Are You Coming Down” is by Kathranne Knight.
