New Releases by Jane Ray

Bicycle spokes still flay afternoon avenues, tumbleweeds still roll a stumbling plain. We stray into an uprooted acre, and Inna binds the blind seat of the heart. Inna Jane Ray's poems in California Hours move between childhood memories and imagined futures across a dramatic human and natural landscape. Written in the late 1970s, Ray's eight-poem cycle painted the effects of drought, flood, fire and urbanization in her native California. Bonnie Barrett's new design of the original hand bound book makes Inna's work accessible now and includes samples of her art gleaned from her sketchbooks, paintings and photography. The edition includes a foreword by Janet Nippell.
