Chatting Books Online Year 2, Day 109. Today's recommended book is:Maker Rebirth by J K Lawson.
J K Lawnson is a poet and an artist so it should come as no surprise that this oversized 'coffee table" style book is a collection of poems each matched with a piece of his artwork.
Some of the artwork was started while Lawson was living and creating in New Orleans and Baton Rouge around the time of hurricane Katrina . As I understand it the project came together at a time when Lawson had returned to the United Kingdom to revisit his childhood home and ended up become an artist in residence at a place called Maker in Cornwall, England.
The combination of artwork and poetry are magical. If you have ever had the privilege to see Mr. Lawson's work or to hear him read his poetry (perhaps when he joined us for a very well attended reading at The Conundrum a few years ago) then you know what a special talent he possesses.
