Metamorphic Door

In this debut poetry collection, stone flows, air becomes geese, time and light intersect. Pacific Northwest poet and artist Carolyn Supinka delivers the quakes and tectonic shifts via poems, illustrations, and the blending of the two, poetry comics.

Praise for Metamorphic Door:

"From swooping owls to slug sex to distant galaxies, the speakers in Carolyn Supinka's Metamorphic Door are eagerly transfixed with the world at every turn. Perhaps this is because they recognize their bodies in the larger structures of nature, or perhaps they are hungry to experience all the flavors of rapture and loss that come their way. In any case, the results are delightful, and the addition of comics makes this collection all the more remarkable. Supinka's blend of drawings overlaid on each other speak to the joyous multiplicity of seeing, and become a palimpsest of movements through space and time. So what happens when you walk through the titular metamorphic door? "[Your] body emerges unraveled and transformed" – and that's only the beginning."
