Sixty Lovers To Make And Do

More about the book

In the short poems of Sixty Lovers To Make And Do by Sophie Herxheimer, a litany of characters collage everyday objects to make companions for themselves. Focusing their loneliness, frustration and passion upon their creations. The book, moving through Spring to Summer, Autumn and Winter evokes simultaneously the seasons of a year and a lifetime. Its glorious illustrations suggest a Book of Hours where the objects of private devotion are assemblages of things, disturbing their surroundings.
