Synopsis

Water is a collection of poetry,
watercolors, and pen-and-ink drawings from poet and author Susan Brind Morrow.
Water is the organizing concept; it is also the urtext of the artistic process,
the window between the natural world and our representations of it.

The interplay between the media creates a unique reading
experience that will appeal to readers of poetry and art books. Morrow's
award-winning work on Egyptian poetry and religious texts manifests here in
transcriptions of hieroglyphs and accompanying ink drawings.

Water is a unique ars poetica for one of our most singular contemporary American
voices.
