Reviews

""Williams' oil and acrylic collage illustrations layer emotive portraits atop abstract shapes, intricate landscapes, and found paper like sheet music and newsprint. The stunning imagery evokes stained glass or panels of a divinely glowing triptych. . . . Duncan's expressive prose echoes the lyrics of a powerful blues song, ensuring its pages will be read (or sung) aloud on repeat. A moving melody of striking visuals and soulful words."" -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
