Our Naked Souls

Poetry Book and Editorial Design

Description

Designed in 2019 and published by Andrews McMeel in 2020, Our Naked Souls is my second poetry book. I shaped four years of writing into four sections, designed each poem as its own page, and art-directed an illustration system with Alaskan artist Travis Kalani. I brought the publisher a finished book with the cover, interior, and artwork already designed. It became a bestseller, outsold my first collection, and is still shared by readers years later.
