About ENDLESS BOWLS OF SKY

“ENDLESS BOWLS OF SKY is a phenomenal collection, and we couldn't be prouder to publish it as our first Flashbulb. In these erasures Amy Shimshon-Santo takes shelter in Ben Okri's words and, with the seemingly effortless mastery that can only come from meticulous and dedicated work, beautifully warps them into companions for all of us, lost and afraid in a time of crisis. These poems are afraid alongside you, give you the words you were lacking, give you images and feelings and understanding where words don’t feel enough. As the work progresses, evolving and morphing alongside the cut out circles of the original text which decorate the pages throughout her stunning design, a tentative hopefulness emerges. This hope is as touching as it is urgently needed, and I am so grateful for the warmth this book leaves me with.”
