Poetry. Pamela Dewey's mesmerizing photographs of the California coast perfectly complements Opstedal's dark coastal poems with a mysterious touch. The interplay between image and word comes through clearly, "like watching gulls paraglide across your eyelids / or dissolve in silver mist, either way / velcroed to my heart" - Kevin Opstedal. Opstedal is the author of several SPD titles, including 9TH AND OCEAN and CRUSH.
