GLASS SCISSORS : BOOK DESIGN

Last month was the release of Glass Scissors, a debut poetry collection from Bobby Nayyar, author of West of No East and The No Salaryman, and publisher of Limehouse Books. I worked alongside Nayyar on the design for this book which included typesetting, front/back cover design and end pages designed to resemble an artex ceiling.

Glass Scissors is available to buy online.

"...Written in three movements – Love & Thunder, The Theatre of Unrest and Into the Blue Forest – Nayyar exposes a British life plagued by inequality, racism and vanity, yet fortified by love and kindness. A central theme of the collection is the volatility of memory as seen through the prism of decaying mental health, which culminates in the shocking, eponymous poem of the collection."
