Spindrift by Molly Knox

Description

your skin will be wet and cold. you will feel kind.
it will be morning and dawn will leak north.
you will sleep well. take care. lie in.
forget about eating cheese.

— Lullabye for Fog

Spindrift by Molly Knox moves through the confessional and the egological. Nature, memory, home and homecoming, intertwine in this set of short poems. Saltmarshes feel for star systems, seals are bouyant surgeons, and an overcast august shrugs off rolling council houses. Tender and deftly woven, these poems are rich with image and feeling.

Spindrift is a limited-run microchapbook hand made, typeset and designed by The Braag. It is printed on 80gsm ivory paper with a 270gsm linen embossed cover and 150gsm handmade cornflower endpapers.
