A bold orange cover showing a line / brush outline of a male torso.
A black background with a painting of a vertical hand. A small red snake is entwined in the fingers and the tail seems to be piercing the palm.
Painting in bright colours showing a copse of trees.
Selima Hill wearing a scarf around her neck and a headscarf/bandanna type of thing. It looks good.
The word 'iamb' in white a light grey circle on a dark grey background. Underneath it says 'poetry seen and heard' in small white lower-case text.
What looks like a painting in two panels. Both show an abstract wave breaking. On one side the sky is blue, on the other side it is black. The bottom of the 'sea' is red.
Section from a painting showing pair of well worn leather boots, hobnails on the soles.
Section from the book cover. An abstract image that could be a sun and yellow sand, but ... you know.
Portion of a book cover. It has a dark red background with parts of the words The and Red shown.
Silhouette of a woman's face looking to the right of the image, her features are obscured be autumnal trees superimposed on the silhouette
Black text on white reads "Four poems by Daniel Brown" with a yellow medium sized Friday Poem blob over the middle of the image.
Book cover of Restorations by Rosalind Hudis. It's abstract art, or maybe a picture of mountains, in blue and dark red against pale pink.
