Hump cover up on Palimpsest site!


"Hump is a mash-up of pregnancy-and-mothering poems and urban/nature/love poems that functions as an anti-sentiment manifesto from Winnipeg writer Ariel Gordon.

Month by month, stanza by stanza, Gordon attempts to adequately represent the wonder and devilment of being-with-child.

Hump is a love poem written simultaneously to a father and child, to a lover and the glimmer in his eye, and to a city that is gritty, faded, but still greener-than-most."

The cover is here! The cover is here!

(And yes, for those of you that have a copy of The navel gaze, the back cover bumf is the same. I thought it still worked, so...)
