In his debut collection, James Morehead paints powerful images of life, love, and loss through the thoughtful selection and careful placement of words.
All strive to paint images in the reader\'s mind through the power of poetry..
Some are fanciful, like "tethered," inspired by a fleeting image seen while hiking the Pacific coastline.
Most are autobiographical, in particular the title poem "canvas," and collectively form a fragmented memoir of memories and melancholy.
The year 2020 and its pandemic-induced solitude inspired the poems that lead this collection. "canvas" features the extraordinary art of Kari Byron and Alla Tsank.
