Fractured, Yet Healing

Arts & Literature

“Andra Durham’s book of poems and art implies a heroic journey. She does not disappoint. The first poem in the collection, ‘Naked,’ states that to see, one must ‘Remove the coins.’ Her thrill for language and granular movements affects the reader and each word in the manuscript. The art is blocked color, urban and tribal, while devils, planets, and orange doors are in meditation. The images combine to elicit visual emotions from the reader and adhere to the poetry.”
