Description
An Idea Of Feathers has a very tactile nature. The work is not just textures and surfaces, but the feeling of whole structures—chain restaurants, relationships, grief— burning, decaying, pieced together and well lived-in.
—Billy Tuggle, author of Conscience Under Pressure
With their first poem, Feathers and Michael Hodges draw you into a unique world, both inner and outer. The lens, while hardly rose-colored, is radiant and made even more so by the darker colors it reveals.
—Paulie Lipman, author of A List Of Imagined Saints
