This 10 page book features a cast of original characters developed by the artist during a yearlong residency at Artists Image Resource (AIR) in Pittsburgh, PA. The interior pages were printed on a letter press and the cover was made using a four color screen print process. To read about this project follow this link to a review in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Kelly Fearing whose artwork inspired Andrea Selch to write Boy Returning Water to the Sea is the Texas Biennial 2009 Tribute Artist.
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
This book is distributed by Carolina Wren Press.
