The Quiet Year

By Laura Allen

The Quiet Year is a chapbook collection of poetry and artwork from Seattle artist Laura Allen. It features selections from her 2016 oil collage series based on the poem "Cities" by H.D., as well as a dozen new original poems. Excerpt from the title poem: "...the green gets over everything like a false rind, a quilt like pale lichen crept from the edges of rocks, shoes, discarded paper. it keens in color. it is excessive. it hides within its own trending entropy: it's popular and all the cool kids have it, like a new mycelium under the skin..."
