Lost Partners - Paperback

by Diane Kistner (Editor), Judith Saunders (Author)

A tribute to creative partnership and enduring intimacy, this chapbook collection celebrates an artist whose work exudes vitality, warmth and wit. The poems cross genres to capture the artist's use of paper, paint, clay, glass, and a bracing medley of found materials to construct one-of-a-kind, mixed-media pieces. Like the art inspiring them, the poems explore an intriguing life story-a story by turns spirited, reflective, humorous, and sensual-sustained throughout by "unlikely, lucky love."
