Demons : Masks

<<  >>

Richard Michelson, also a Northampton author and book arts enthusiast, collaborated with Baskin on a number of children’s books. Their books, which had such titles as Can You Say Ghosts? and Animals that Ought to Be, were printed by trade publishers, including Simon & Schuster. Masks, their first joint fine press project, is a collection of Michelson’s non-juvenile poems. Baskin’s grotesque imagery inspired the ironic poems.
