'A Quiet Sorcery weaves a calming tapestry of text and image. Gentle on the eye and mind alike, this book features original poetry by Jo Ward alongside a carefully curated selection of imagery by photographers and artists from around the world. The guiding idea is to create a visual form of poetry that feels approachable and restful, opening up a space to contemplate the natural world and the materiality of language itself. This book forms part of a larger collection of visual poetry called Ovidian.' (Publication summary)
