Poems by Robert Kelly
Black Sparrow Books

Among the authors whose books Godine “inherited” from John Martin and Black Sparrow Books was the highly regarded and tremendously prolific Robert Kelly. When he delivered his manuscript, Kelly sent along a number of his own photographs for the cover, though the one we ultimately chose did not at first seem useable. A little careful adjustment made it suddenly rather magical, and the addition of two rich shades of blue pulled together an otherwise simple idea.
