The covers of Michael Longley’s poetry books were designed to capture the spiritual essence of emotion, dreams, and nature. The tears on the cover act as peepholes into the poems, with illustrations hinting at a hidden world that only unfolds upon opening the book. A light typographic composition combined with textile fabric lends a personal touch, while pastel tones evoke intimacy and softness.
