beautiful mess

I want to live in this world imagined by Trish Stephenson

Will you stay with me?

From American poet Jill Bialosky comes the eclectic collection Intruder. Opening with the hauntingly melancholic Demon Lover, the following poems weave odd tales of startling beauty and supreme reality. Drawing from obvious life experience, the collection is an easy one with which to connect, a feat many authors have difficulty. To drink in more of Bialosky's way with words, pick up The Life Room, an intense telling of the inner workings of an every day woman.

These installations and illustrations of artist Gary Card have be absolutely captivated. He seems to have so many different stylistic facets to his work, from his quilted snail window installation for TopShop to his comically odd sketches. (He even does high fashion set design and prop work.) Visit him here to view all of his work.
