Cockeyed Press is very excited to announce the publication of Boy Returning Water to the Sea by North Carolina Poet Andrea Selch.

“As if by magic, the unforgettable poems in this chapbook lead us into the images the poet sees before her in the paintings of William Kelly Fearing. ‘The Poet and Bird Before an Open Cave’ concludes, ’through the cave another sky is visible.’ Through her poems, Andrea Selch makes visible a world that only a poet in her most intuitive, visionary mode can create.”

—Kathryn Stripling Byer, North Carolina Poet Laureate

New book by Andrea Selch due out in mid-February

“We are so pleased to be publishing this elegant chapbook by Andrea Selch. Her original inspiration—the titles of works in William Kelly Fearing’s retrospective catalog, which seemed so much like poem-titles to her—has grown into a full-fledged engagement with the images themselves. Some poems are just gestures; others lyrical; still others, open-ended. By arranging them in chronological order, she offers a narrative on a life scale—elements of her biography and Fearing’s sneak onto the surface like bits of paper in a single collage—nevertheless, each poem remains a striking word-picture.”

—Bill Fick, Cockeyed Press
