“Every Hedy Habra poem is a jewel of ekphrasis. She takes us deep into magic in these elegant, stunning poems. She layers language in a way that dances between brushstrokes, connecting words and images but also hearts and mystery. Habra shows us how art is an infinite world of possibilities. A dazzling collection.” —Lorette C. Luzajic
