Front cover illustration in brown - a woman standing at a table, a baby is under the table, a small man pulls himself out of a coffin leaning against the table. Title at the top in black. Back cover has a review, synopsis, and description of the author. Unpaginated.
Exploring the nature of birth, courtship, & female consciousness, this major contribution to the 10th-century long-poem genre challenges the way we think about ourselves as men & women. Six stunning drawings by the author evoke their own story, while complimenting Kicknowsway's haunting text.
