Antonia Glücksman

Antonia Glücksman is a German-Canadian designer, writer and illustrator based in Cornwall. Her work often draws on archival sources and collective memory to reveal the hidden poetry in mundane objects and everyday surroundings. Using drawing, collage and photographic processes, she aims to create books that are haptic and visual landscapes for the text to inhabit. Antonia has illustrated and designed Guillemot titles Words for Worlds Upended and Buried Gods Metal Prophets as well as the cover for Lucy Burnett’s One Step Sideways and 13 Down. More of her work can be seen on her website.

Subsong

Holly Corfield Carr’s 15-part poem about geology and birdsong is published by the National Trust in partnership with Falmouth University. Subsong is a dream poem, taking dream to mean (as it once did in medieval English) a rowdy, outdoor kind of noise made by musicians and brawlers and birds. The illustrations, full of sound, energy and movement, echo this dreamlike notion.
