Now that we’ve shared the individual poems from What We Hold On To: Poems of Coping, Connection, and Carrying On, we wanted to take a moment to highlight the cover artwork for the collection.

The painting, Turning Partly Cloudy by Midday, was created specifically for the cover of this book by Central Texas artist Bonner Fowles. The piece is acrylic on canvas.

Below is the full, unedited image of the cover artwork.
